Duties, Taxes, and Fees
If your local customs authority charges import duties, taxes, or handling fees, these costs are the customer's responsibility and must be paid before the package can be released.
Additional Tips
- Customs delays vary in length depending on the country and time of year.
- Holidays or high shipping volume can extend processing times.
- In most cases, once the requested information or payment is provided, the shipment is released without further issues.
