Customs is a government agency responsible for regulating shipments entering a country or region. All shipments being sent to and from a country or region must clear customs first. It's always buyer's responsibilities to clear customs and pay the relevant custom duties.

We don't add taxes, VAT, or other hidden charges. You pay us exactly the price we marked on website, i.e. goods subtotal + shipping cost. In most countries, however, you have to pay taxes or duties on imported goods. Sometimes goods under a certain value, or in certain categories, do not incur taxes. The rules are different in every country. Unfortunately there is no way for us to know the rules, regulations, customs, traditions, practices, loopholes, schemes, systems, paperwork, codes, laws, or rulings of every single country.

Therefore, we cannot, and will not, offer advice about taxes in your country. As the buyer, it is your responsibility to find out that information before you order. If you have to pay import taxes and/or additional duties and sales taxes, then you would have to pay that to the courier upon receipt of the package(s). We can't calculate this for you and there is no way to pre-pay it. If you are drop-shipping or sending a gift item to someone, please make sure they are aware of the possibility of having to pay taxes when receiving the goods.

Please find out as much as you can about your import taxes in your own country before completing your order. If you find out information about the import tax situation in your country, and you believe there are ways to minimize the taxes you have to pay (or eliminate the taxes altogether), just tell us what you need by putting instructions (regarding labeling, packing, declarations, invoices, etc.) in the message field during checkout. We are more than happy to follow your instructions.

FAQ:

1. If the items are detained by customs, who is responsible for clearance of the items
If the items are detained by customs after the ship left the seller's country, then the buyer is responsible for clearance of the detained items.

2. If a very large order is delivered to my country, will customs seize my order
Yes, it is a possibility. We suggest you ask us in advance to split your orders into several smaller packages, to be shipped at different days to avoid possible seizure.

3. If custom duties incurred, who is responsible
It is the buyer's responsibility for any custom duty fee that might be charged from delivery. How the import duty will be charged depends on each country's custom policies.

4. How much will I be charged tax?
The accurate amount depends on different countries and goods. But to avoid high tax, we will declare a low value. For example, if you buy a dress for 200 USD, we may declare its value for only 70 USD. So you don't need pay to much if tax occurs. Please don't ask us to declare a too low value, because customs office may easily seize it and you will be punished and charged more for the fake declarations.
