About Import Tax and Fees

When you order products for shipment to destinations outside of the U.S., or for shipment into the U.S. from another destination, we facilitate customs clearance on your behalf. You are responsible for any Import Tax and Fees (as defined in the Global Store Terms & Conditions ) to the relevant customs and tax authorities. We may charge you a fixed amount at checkout for all customs-related processes and costs, including the applicable estimated Import Tax and Fees, which will be included in the total price you pay at checkout.

Calculating Import Tax and Fees

The amount of actual Import Tax and Fees charged by Customs and tax authorities will vary depending on multiple factors. These include Customs and tax regulations in the given destination, the product category and price, and the shipping method selected.

Typically, Import Tax and Fees are calculated based on the price of the product after any discounts or promotions are applied, but including shipping costs. Carriers or agents use the estimated amounts you pay at checkout to pay Import Tax and Fees on your behalf to the appropriate Customs and tax authorities.
