All U.S. and International winners will have the ship cost of their prize waived by Sideshow Collectibles. All taxes, duties, import fees, and VAT are the responsibility of international winners. All prizes are non-transferable, with no cash redemptions and/or substitutions except at Sponsor’s sole discretion. International winners (including EU regions) will be responsible for taxes, VAT, duties or import fees on the shipment of their prize. Due to customs requirements, the prize will need to be assigned a value of at least US$1. (If we do not then your customs office may elect to charge you the retail worth of your item.) Further, some countries outside of the U.S. do not have reliable mail services. In the event that a prize has been stolen or mishandled during shipment to an international destination, Sideshow may not be able to replace the specific item(s). If the winner prefers a specific quicker shipping method, they are responsible to notify us immediately and will also be responsible to cover the additional costs if any.
