Our Orders don’t add taxes, VAT, or other hidden charges. You pay us what you see on the order screen, i.e., goods subtotal + shipping cost. HOWEVER – In most countries, you have to pay taxes or duties on imported goods. Sometimes goods under a specific value or in certain categories do not incur taxes. The rules are different in every country. Unfortunately, there is no way for our sellers to know the rules, regulations, customs, traditions, practices, loopholes, schemes, systems, paperwork, codes, laws, or rulings of every country. Therefore, we cannot, and will not, offer advice about taxes in your country. As the buyer, it is your responsibility to find out that information before you order. If you have to pay import taxes and/or additional duties and sales taxes, you would have to pay that to the courier upon receipt of the package(s). We can’t calculate this for you, and there is no way to pre-pay it. If you are drop-shipping or sending a gift item to someone, please make sure they are aware of the possibility of having to pay taxes when receiving the goods.
Please find out as much as you can about your import taxes in your own country before completing your order. If you find out information about the import tax situation in your country, and you believe there are ways to minimize the taxes you have to pay (or eliminate the taxes), let us know what you need by putting instructions (regarding labeling, packing, declarations, invoices, etc.) in the comments field during checkout. We are more than happy to follow your instructions.
