π² Duties & Import Taxes
All orders are shipped under DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid) terms, meaning customers are responsible for any customs duties, VAT, or import taxes imposed by their country. We strongly recommend checking your local import regulations before purchasing. If an order is refused due to unpaid customs fees, we will not be able to issue a refund.
π International Customs & Tax Thresholds
When shipping internationally, many countries offer a βde minimisβ thresholdβa tax-free limit under which import duties and taxes are not applied. If your order value is below the threshold, your recipient may not need to pay any additional import fees.
Here are some commonly shipped-to countries and their de minimis values:
