Hi. Thanks for your email.
The website is set up not to charge VAT for customers based in the US,
but
we are currently experiencing a few problems with this.

If you find that you are charged VAT on a specific order, please let me
know. I will send you a revised invoice or alternatively refund you the
VAT
on the order.
