International Tariffs and Other Fees
International tariff rates sometimes change, There are times when up-to-date information is not readily available and we are unable to provide accurate advance information on the rates and amounts of customs duties when entering your country. This is due primarily because the fees will be calculated during import customs clearance and inspection at their destination. Customs tariffs and other fees are at the discretion of the local customs and related authorities. |
Tariff & Duty Payments, and Shipment Returns
Customs duties and other similar fees incurred in the United States, Canada and other destinations are the responsibility of the recipient. There are instances when a shipment is delayed due to import customs clearance or inspection at the port of entry. If the recipient fails to pay the customs duties or related fees, the shipment may be forced to be returned or disposed of, and we may charge the receiver for the customs, other fees, and the return shipment. Any fees which are incurred must be paid by the purchaser (you) or the receiver. |
