📦 Do I Need to Pay Customs Duties When I Receive My Package?

✅ Most Customers Do Not Need to Pay Duties at Delivery

Whether import duties apply depends on your country’s tax regulations and the shipping method you choose.


🌍 Countries with Duty-Free Thresholds

For countries like Canada, Australia, Japan, and Singapore, small parcels are often below the taxable value, meaning you won’t need to pay import duties upon delivery.


🇪🇺 EU and 🇺🇸 U.S. Customers

For countries without a duty-free threshold (like the EU and U.S.), most of our shipping services include prepaid duties, so no payment is required when your parcel arrives.

We work with logistics partners who prepay customs duties for small parcels. These fees are already included in your shipping cost.


📦 For Large Orders (30kg+)

  • EU buyers: We offer rail shipping with duty prepayment.

  • Air freight: Duties may not be prepaid. In this case, we’ll help you declare a value, and you’ll pay duties directly to customs based on their bill.


💬 Will I Be Notified About Duties Before Checkout?

Yes. During checkout, you’ll see clear reminders about whether duties are included or need to be paid separately — no surprise bills when your package arrives.
