To comply with new European Union customs regulations, a €3 customs duty (with a courier handling fee) will be applied to all orders shipped to EU member states.

This charge reflects a new government-imposed fee on low-value imports entering the European Union from outside the bloc. You can learn more about the change here:

As a small independent publisher, we've always absorbed a portion of our international shipping costs to help keep our architecture guides as affordable as possible. Unfortunately, we aren't able to absorb this additional government-imposed charge, so it is passed through directly on EU orders.

The €3 customs duty (with a courier handling fee) will appear as a separate line item during checkout for orders shipping to the European Union.

This change does not affect our products, shipping methods, or any other pricing.

Thank you for your understanding and for supporting independent publishing.
