Does International Shipping Include Customs Duties? Will There Be Extra Charges?
Shipping fees and customs duties are separate. We guide you on accurate declaration to avoid delays and offer DDP service for a fully delivered, no-surprise price. Understand your costs upfront.

This is a crucial distinction. When we quote you a shipping fee, that covers the cost of transport from our warehouse to your country's port of entry. Customs duties, taxes, and import fees are separate and are determined by your home country's government, based on the product type, value, and origin. To help you avoid surprises, we take two key steps: First, before shipping, we work with you to ensure the commercial invoice (which customs uses for assessment) is accurate and compliant. Second, we can advise on strategies—like splitting a high-value shipment into multiple lower-value ones—to legally minimize duty exposure. For complete peace of mind, we also offer DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) service on select routes, where we pre-calculate and collect the estimated taxes, so you receive the parcel with no further fees.
