Important Information for US Customers: Import Duties & Tariffs

Due to ongoing international trade challenges, shipments to the United States may currently be subject to additional import tariffs, also known as punitive or retaliatory duties.

Why Are These Charges Applied?

These extra charges are the result of trade measures implemented by the US government in response to international trade tensions. As a result, certain product categories may incur elevated customs duties, which are not included in your order total on our website.

Who Pays These Duties?

As with all import duties, the recipient (you, the customer) is responsible for paying any charges levied by US Customs. These are typically collected by the delivery carrier at the time of delivery—in cash or via the carrier’s accepted payment methods.

How Much Will It Be?

Unfortunately, we cannot provide an exact cost for these import duties, as they depend on the specific product type, quantity, value, and current customs classifications. However, based on recent customer feedback and customs trends, duties may range between 120–150% of the product value in some cases.

Top 5 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Will I definitely have to pay import duties?

Not always—but it is very likely under current trade regulations, especially for certain product categories.

2. How will I be notified about the amount due?

The delivery carrier (e.g., USPS, FedEx, UPS) will notify you upon arrival and collect the payment before handing over the parcel.

3. Can I prepay duties when placing my order?

Currently, we do not offer a prepayment option for US customs duties. All import charges must be paid upon delivery.

4. Why are the duties so high (up to 150%)?

These are not regular import taxes but punitive tariffs imposed as part of international trade measures. They can be significantly higher than standard customs rates.

5. What happens if I refuse to pay the duties?

If duties are not paid, your package will be returned to us or discarded by customs, depending on the carrier’s policy. Shipping fees are non-refundable in such cases.
