G.P.S.R. (General Product Safety Regulations) are now enforced by the European Commission. This means that we cannot post any of our products to EU countries without major investment by us.

This would involve a lot of effort and cost to our relatively small business that we cannot justify.

We are so sorry about this but we have no option.

See the European Commission Website for more details.

Please note, Classes are still available to the EU.
