6. VAT and currency

The product prices on www.sardissimo.it are VAT included.

and United States Dollars (USD).
The currency can be selected at any time from the Currency option on the top side of the page.

SARDISSIMO will apply the VAT rates in accordance with the Italian regulation D.P.R: 633/72
with some exceptions concerning the sales within the European Union or outbound.
The VAT amount, if due, will be calculated at the order's request.

Customs duties

When the transaction is a sale to an extra-EU customer, indirect taxation and import duties will be charged in the destination country as the case may be. This means that the buyer is fully responsible for the payment of all the custom duties and taxes as per current laws in their country of residence. Therefore, for extra-UE customers, the prices to be considered are those before tax and duties (net price).

Fiscal documentation for companies and professional customers

The goods always travel accompanied by an order's summary.
SARDISSIMO send a copy of the invoice in Adobe Acrobat PDF format when the order is dispatched.
Customers based in Italy must consider this document as a pro-forma invoice, the valid fiscal document (electronic invoice) will be made available once it has been approved by the Italian Tax Agency. Customers may retrieve the fiscal invoice directly from their certified telematic address or from their restricted area of the Tax Agency platform. Italian customers are therefore kindly invited to fill in the specific form with the necessary information (PEC address and/or SDI Destination Code).

Fiscal documentation for private customers (consumers)

The goods always travel accompanied by an order's summary.
Pursuant to article 2, subsection 1 Italian D.P.R. 696/96 (dismissal of the obligation to issue a fiscal document by mail), SARDISSIMO will issue an invoice only if requested by the customer.
This request can be made at the moment of the order's placement.

Due to the nature of these products, the shipping costs are slightly higher.

The fresh products can only be sent to addresses in Italy, and SARDISSIMO shall not be held liable for any damage to which the purchaser is subject as a result of incorrect storage, use or marketing.
