International Duties & Import Taxes
Currently, Hardwick & Sons is not processing direct international orders to customers at this time. We recommend international customers to use a forwarding company within the US that takes care of international parcels. Customers who place orders outside the U.S. are responsible for any potential international duties and import taxes upon arrival. Please check your local government agency for these costs.
