All our prices are indicated in Euros excluding VAT, increased by the applicable VAT rate (20% for products shipped in France) and transport costs applicable on the day of the order.Given the nature and origin of our products, prices may be modified depending on changes in cost prices, raw materials and/or currency exchange rate fluctuations.

As such, printing cartridges are subject to an eco-contribution intended to finance collection, decontamination and recycling. This amount depends on the scales communicated by the eco-organisations to which we adhere and will be indicated on your price lists. The eco-contribution is added to the amount excluding VAT and is therefore subject to VAT.
