International Shipping Terms & Conditions

These International Shipping Terms & Conditions apply if you purchase products on Amazon.com for shipment to delivery addresses outside of the U.S. ("products"). Each product is sold and shipped by Amazon Export Sales LLC ("Amazon Export"), or sold by a third party seller and either fulfilled by Amazon or shipped by the third party seller. These terms and conditions apply in addition to Amazon's Conditions of Use and any other applicable terms and policies which govern the sale of the products. In case of conflict between these International Shipping Terms & Conditions and Amazon's Conditions of Use, these terms will prevail.

1. Compliance with Applicable Laws

When ordering from Amazon.com, you must comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the destination to which your products are being delivered ("destination"). You are also responsible for assuring that your products may be lawfully imported into the country of importation.

2. Transfer of Title and Risk of Loss

Title and risk of loss for the products transfer to you as soon as the product is delivered to the first carrier outside of the country of importation.

3. Import Fees

Products shipped outside of the U.S. may be subject to taxes, customs duties, and fees charged by the authorities of the country of importation ("Import Fees"). For products sold by Amazon Export or sold by third party sellers and fulfilled by Amazon you are responsible for paying all Import Fees. For certain destinations, Amazon Export will estimate the Import Fees (if any) and collect a deposit from you at checkout ("Import Fees Deposit"). For other destinations, Amazon Export will charge a fixed amount at checkout ("Import Charges"). By placing your order, you authorize Amazon Export to collect the Import Fees Deposit or Import Charges.

You are the person responsible for the import clearance of products shipped outside of the U.S. ("importer of record"), unless the laws of the country of importation require that someone else serves as the importer of record. In that case, you authorize Amazon Export or the third party seller (if applicable) to designate an importer of record. You also authorize Amazon Export or the third party seller (if applicable) to designate a carrier ("Designated Carrier") to act as your direct or indirect representative/agent with the relevant customs, postal, and tax authorities, to clear your products, to process and pay on your behalf any Import Fees charged for your products ("Actual Import Fees"), and to process any amendments, invalidations, or duty refunds or remissions related to the importation of your products. Any Import Fees Deposit or Import Charges will be used to reimburse the Designated Carrier for Actual Import Fees . You agree that the Designated Carrier may disclose to Amazon Export the amount of Actual Import Fees for the products purchased from Amazon Export or fulfilled by Amazon.

You will not be charged any additional amount if the Actual Import Fees are greater than the Import Fees Deposit or Import Charges collected by Amazon Export. If the Import Fees Deposit collected by Amazon Export is greater than the Actual Import Fees, Amazon Export will refund the difference to you. Import Charges are fixed, and you will not be refunded if the Import Charges are greater than the Actual Import Fees. Following shipment of your order, you may contact the Designated Carrier specified in your shipment confirmation to obtain details regarding the Actual Import Fees, or to obtain documentation or receipts in connection with customs clearance.

4. Gifts

In the case of gifts or other purchases made on behalf of another recipient, you also agree to secure and grant the applicable authorizations, including payment of Import Fees, on behalf of the recipient designated in your order. Products shipped as gifts will be marked as such, but the cost of the products may be stated on the customs forms.
