Institutions or companies with a valid VAT number can reclaim the VAT they have paid us on their local VAT returns.

UK buyers will pay 20% VAT plus a handling fee of € 6,60 to UPS upon importation. For orders from the United Kingdom a minimum order value of £ 135 / € 150 applies.

On orders from outside the EU no VAT is charged. For deliveries outside the EU VAT and import duties may be added to the delivery by our shipping partner UPS. UPS, or its representative, will contact the client. In our experience duties vary between 3% and 25%, but sometimes more, depending on the country. Often a fixed handling fee is charged on top of the import duties. This fixed handling fee makes ordering multiple bottles attractive, as this fixed cost can then be divided over the various bottles.

Does DEKAsvitamins.com accept returns?

Yes, under a few conditions:

  1. Returns should be received back within 14 calendar days of customer receipt.
  2. The product must be unopened (seal intact) and undamaged.

Customers are responsible for return shipping costs unless DEKAsvitamins.com made an error in your order or the product is defective. Contact us at info@dekasvitamins.com or by phone and we will authorize a return or a refund based on the situation.

Does medical insurance cover DEKAs vitamins?

Insurance may cover the cost of DEKAs vitamins. Please ask your physician or dietician. If DEKAs is not covered it may be helpful if your physician or other health professional submits a letter of medical necessity to your insurance company. This letter should explain the patient’s condition (that results in malabsorption) and the need for the delivery technology used in the DEKAs multivitamins to overcome micronutrient malabsorption. Please contact us at info@dekasvitamins.com for any further questions.

Can I use DEKAs for other conditions?

A medical professional may decide that DEKAs vitamins are indicated for other conditions than Cystic Fibrosis, Cholestatic Liver Disease or Bariatric Surgery. Please consult your physician as DEKAs vitamins should be taken under medical supervision.

Can I use DEKAs without medical supervision?

No. When you purchase DEKAs we ask you to declare that you will take DEKAs under medical supervision only.

Can I order DEKAs vitamins without a prescription?

Yes. From the Webshop you can order without prescription, but DEKAs should be taken under medical supervision, so you should inform your doctor and/or dietician.
