Customs Duties
- Some countries collect customs fees (aka import taxes or import duties) on our products, just like other imported merchandise that crosses international borders.
- Due to the local customs-collection process, this may result in a later delivery time than the date that was originally estimated in the shipping calculator. We can't offer shipping refunds due to customs delays.
- Any local duties, customs and taxes that apply must be paid by the recipient upon delivery. See the screenshot below, which shows the warning displayed at checkout on the "Place Order" page.
