Understanding International Shipping Costs: Taxes, Customs and Duties

When ordering goods from abroad, it's important to factor in potential taxes and customs duties. These charges, levied by your local customs authority, vary based on your location and the type of goods purchased. Understanding International Shipping Costs: Taxes, Customs and Duties:

What are customs duties?

Think of customs duties as your country's way of regulating imports. They're essentially taxes applied to goods entering from another country. These fees are separate from the initial product cost and shipping charges you pay to Cottonpolis.

Who pays customs duties?

As the importer, you're responsible for any customs duties or import taxes. These fees are not included in your Cottonpolis invoice. We recommend familiarizing yourself with your country's specific import regulations to avoid any surprises.

How are customs duties calculated?

Customs duties are typically calculated as a percentage of the declared value of the goods. Factors influencing these fees include:

• Product type: Certain goods may be subject to higher or lower duties.
• Product value: Generally, higher-value items incur higher duties.
• Country of origin: Trade agreements between countries can influence duty rates.
