Duties & Taxes

Import Taxes

The Magnum Photos Shop is located in the United States. Orders are produced and distributed from both New York and Paris. All customers in the EU will have their orders fulfilled from Paris. As such, customers in the EU should not pay any import taxes. Depending on where an order ships from, imports need to be declared when they arrive in the destination country, and may incur import tax. Magnum Photos and the Magnum Photos Shop is not responsible for and can offer no specific advice on import fees, duty, customs or taxes that you may be charged when your merchandise reaches you. We urge you to consult your local government import office with any questions.

These will be applied automatically and customers will not be required to do anything.

Working Out Customs Fees

Outside of the EU and USA, customer’s orders may be subject to import duty or customs fees. When a customer from the USA or the EU purchases from Magnum Photos, they are paying the landed price for that product and will not be subject to any additional charges.

When a customer from outside the USA or the EU purchases from Magnum Photos they are paying the non-landed price and may be subject to any local import or customs fees.

If you return a product to us, you will be the exporter from the destination country. Title and risk of loss transfer to us upon our receipt of the merchandise. Magnum Photos and the Magnum Photos Shop cannot assist you in recovering your taxes and duties. Shipping carriers will assist you for a fee. Please contact shipping carriers directly to initiate this service.

Privacy

Your privacy is important to us. We strive to exceed your expectations for privacy. Cross-border shipments are subject to inspection by customs authorities. We may also be called upon to provide certain order, shipment, and product information to our international carriers. Carriers may communicate such information to customs authorities for the purpose of facilitating customs clearance and compliance with local laws.

Gregory Halpern

Gregory Halpern grew up in Buffalo, New York—a place that was a formative visual influence and which continues to be an inspiration to him. When he was fourteen, he had a transformative experience looking at Triptychs, a book of photographs by the local photographer Milton Rogovin, a man who had not picked up a camera until his fifties and who worked largely in obscurity until his eighties. Since then, the photobook has remained a point of fascination for Halpern, and has been the central medium of Halpern’s creative output.

Halpern has published four books of photographs, including Confederate Moons (TBW Books, 2018), ZZYZX (Mack, 2016), A (J&L Books, 2011) and Harvard Works Because We Do (Quantuck Lane, 2003). He has also published East of the Sun, West of the Moon (Études, 2014), a collaboration with Ahndraya Parlato, and he is the editor, along with Jason Fulford, of The Photographer’s Playbook: Over 250 Assignments and Ideas (Aperture, 2014). He holds a BA in History and Literature from Harvard University and an MFA from California College of the Arts. In 2016, ZZYZX was awarded Photobook of the Year at Paris Photo, and in 2014 Halpern was the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship. He is a professor of photography at the Rochester Institute of Technology, in Rochester, New York.

Greg became a Magnum nominee member in 2018.
