30. Why do I need to pay customs duty?

All countries have a policy on importing goods. Even when you order something online from a different country, it must be cleared by the customs. During the customs procedure, officers check the country of origin of the package, the value of the package including transport charges and the quantity of goods. Sometimes you will be asked to provide the customs office with an invoice or proof of payment for the goods, to show the value. Every country has its own customs laws and the amount of duties varies for types of goods and different values. Package sender, like any other international transportation company, must adhere to local customs legislation.

31. What additional charges can I expect following the customs clearance?

You may be expected to pay customs import duties (percentage of shipment value and transport charges), local tax, and any regulatory charges (if applicable). The amount of charges depends on the value and the type of good arriving into the country. However, we are unable to provide you with detailed information on customs fees and taxes, as they depend on the country of origin, country of arrival and the type and value of the good. If you refuse to pay the customs fees and taxes and the package is returned to our offices, we will not refund the cost of shipment. After 30 day, customer loses their right to claim the package.

All packages and shipments go through the import procedure, determined by customs’ law in the destination country.

This is not included in the shipment price you pay on our website. In the event of duties, you will receive an e-mail, prompting you to pay the expenses. The calculation of duties depends on the assessable value of the shipment. To calculate the amount of duties, goods are given a classification code that is known as the Harmonized System code, assigned by the World Customs Organisation.

33. Who is responsible for the payment of customs duties?

Duties and taxes are not included in the price. For example, when some or all of these goods may not originate in the country you reside in or when the goods are not shipped domestically (within your country) or within a single customs union, such as the European Union, you are liable to pay any inbound duties and taxes which your local customs authority deems appropriate. In the case of customs duties or other taxes needed to be paid, we will inform you so you can pay and the package will then be delivered. Package sender only releases the goods to you upon the full repayment of any duties and taxes.
