Common Delivery Questions

Do you ship to all European countries?

We ship to all EU member states and the United Kingdom. Other European destinations (e.g. Switzerland, Norway, Balkans) are available on request.

How long does delivery to Germany take?

Express delivery to Germany is typically 3–5 business days after production is completed (production lead time 7–21 days).

France and the Netherlands are similar; the UK and southern Europe add 1–2 days.

Do you handle customs and VAT?

Yes, with DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) terms we pay import duty and VAT for you — one landed price, no paperwork at your end.

With EXW/FOB you handle import yourself.

How are sheets packaged to avoid damage?

Sheets are interleaved with protective film, edge-protected, and boxed; large or bulk orders use plywood crates with desiccant for sea routes.
