Customs and Duties * Important information regarding international shipping. Please read carefully.

Q. Will customs duties or taxes be charged?

A. The Shop ships products under the DDU (DAP) delivery method. Accordingly, any customs duties, import taxes, customs clearance fees, or similar charges incurred upon importation are the responsibility of the recipient. For shipments to the United States, a de minimis exemption for low-value shipments previously existed; however, regulations and enforcement practices have changed. As a result, customs duties, taxes, and clearance fees may be assessed regardless of the product value. Whether such charges apply, as well as the final amounts, are determined by customs authorities and shipping carriers based on applicable laws, regulations, and operational practices. The Shop does not guarantee tax exemption nor provide advance estimates of these charges. This is a screenshot of the checkout screen. You are required to agree to these terms before placing your order.

Q. What happens if I do not pay customs duties or taxes?

A. If customs duties, taxes, or clearance fees are not paid, the shipment may be returned, held, or disposed of at the discretion of customs authorities or the shipping carrier. In such cases, the Shop will not issue a refund, and any return shipping costs or additional fees incurred shall be borne entirely by the customer.

A. No. Refunds are not provided for shipments that are refused by the recipient. Any costs resulting from refusal of delivery, including return shipping or additional fees, shall be the customer’s responsibility.
