  • About Duty

    All shipments must go through an import procedure as determined by custom law in the destination country. A shipment is cleared through customs based on the country of origin, its value and quantity. Dutiable shipments are subject to a customs duty, which is a tariff or tax imposed on goods when transported across international borders. The calculation of duties depends on the assessable value of a dutiable shipment. For the purpose of this calculation, dutiable goods are given a classification code known as the Harmonized System code. This system has been assigned by the World Customs Organization and continues to evolve.

  • Who is Responsible for Payment of any Duty

    The payment of duties and any taxes will be the responsibility of the sender.
