Are taxes, duties, and customs charges included in shipping?

Shipping may take 3 to 10 days, plus preparation time. We ship worldwide, but packaging, destination, tracking, weight, shipping costs, geopolitical conditions, and production scale all affect the final cost. Shipping costs cover only the actual cost of the courier service, which has skyrocketed, especially for shipments to the United States, due to geopolitical conditions and customs duties. We do not make any profit from shipping costs.

SHIPPING COSTS NOW INCLUDE CUSTOMS DUTIES FOR THE UNITED STATES. Any customs duties to other countries, if present, must be paid on the courier’s tracking page.

Shipping costs DO NOT include taxes, VAT collected at destination, or any related handling fees that may apply in the buyer’s country. Those extra charges, when they exist, are usually determined by local authorities or the courier and are the buyer’s responsibility, since we cannot calculate them in advance. This is especially important for international orders, because customs rules vary widely from country to country. If you need to report these on your tax return, ask your accountant.

If you are ordering from abroad, do not assume the shipping price shown at checkout includes every possible destination-side cost.
