Important Update on International Shipping  

Due to ongoing changes in export regulations and tariffs, international product shipments are currently limited to countries shown in the dropdown menu at checkout. Additional countries may be added to the list as we continue to identify solutions with the help of our global logistics partners.

If you choose to work with a freight forwarder or ship products to family or friends to circumvent these restrictions, you will assume all risk for the shipment. However, DAN products can be pre-ordered and picked up at major events like DEMA. 

We apologize for the inconvenience, and we appreciate your support as we work on solutions for international shipping. Please contact us with questions, and we will continue to provide updates as the situation evolves.
