Shipping

  • Customs, Duties and Taxes

    The recipient is the importer of record and must comply with all laws and regulations of the destination country.

     

    All orders are shipped delivered duties unpaid (DDU) therefore shipments may be subject to import taxes, customs duties and custom charges by the destination country. The recipient of the shipment may be subject to such import taxes, customs duties and custom charges, which are levied once a shipment reaches the recipient's country.

     

    Customs policies vary widely from country to country; you should contact your local customs office for more information. When customs clearance procedures are required, it can cause delays beyond our original delivery estimates.
