Yes, orders sent to countries outside of the EU and UK will not be charged the U.K. sales tax. However you may face local taxes and import charges levied by local customs. We would advise checking locally to find out what potential charges you may face.
No, all local taxes and duties that are applicable are calculated and shown at checkout and then the order is sent using a DDP service which means there are no extra charges once the order arrives in the EU.
Orders with a value of under $800 will not attract any charges from the U.S. customs. Orders with a value over $800 will attract customs charges so we would advise placing 2 orders of a lower value rather than one of over $800.

Sizing & Stock Availability.
You can find a list of all official UW stockists on the website here.
Please send an email to web@universalworks.co.uk and our customer service team can help you with this question.
There is an option on each product page to see store availability. Just highlight the size you are looking for and click on “store availability.”
If it is not visible on the website it is unlikely but please email web@universalworks.co.uk and our customer service team can advise you.
We only have sizes which are available on the website. That includes all the stock held in our stores.
Our product pages show availability by style and size in all of our retail stores; you can order this stock by checking out as you normally would (if your size is available). If your size is unavailable and you would like to know if the item you would like is available elsewhere, please email web@universalworks.co.uk and our customer service team can advise you of availability at independent stockists.
The best advice we can give is for you to measure a similar item you have and compare those measurements with the guideline measurements on the website. If you are still unsure please contact our customer service team at web@universalworks.co.uk or ask us on live chat.
As our pants typically have a deeper rise than most standard chinos and jeans we feel the inside leg measurement makes the pants seem shorter in length than they are. We would advise comparing the outside leg measurement of a pair of pants you have with the guideline measurements on the website.
We do our utmost to portray each colour as accurately as possible but due to the many different screen types and settings it is difficult to ensure you are seeing colour in its true light. If you are unsure please email web@universalworks.co.uk and we will try and help.
Please email web@universalworks.co.uk with as much detail as possible and we will try to help.
