I. Shipping Options and Overview of Tariffs
We offer USPS First Class for international shipping. In cross – border transactions, tariffs and import duties are fees levied by the customs of your country or region in accordance with local laws and policies. These fees vary depending on factors such as the destination country or region, the type of goods, and their value. We are unable to determine the specific amount in advance.
II. Package Declaration and Impact on Tariffs
- Declaration Amount Setting: For packages shipped via USPS First Class, we typically declare an invoice amount between \(20 and \)150 and mark the packages as gifts. This helps to minimize the import duties levied by customs to the greatest extent possible. However, the final amount of tariffs depends on the tariff policies of your country or region. Our declaration operation is only a common practice and cannot guarantee that you will be completely exempt from tariffs or determine the specific tariff amount.
- Impact of Goods Categories: Different types of goods may be subject to different tariff rates in the customs of various countries. For example, some countries may impose higher tariff rates on electronic products and luxury goods, while the rates for ordinary daily necessities are relatively lower. The specific category of the goods you purchase will directly affect the way customs calculate tariffs and the final amount. Before placing an order, we recommend that you understand the tariff policies of your country or region regarding relevant goods categories to estimate the possible fees.
- Differences in Destination Country or Region Policies: The customs tariff policies of countries and regions around the world vary, not only in terms of the level of tariff rates but also in aspects such as duty – free allowances and tax calculation methods. Some countries may provide duty – free treatment for goods below a certain value, while others levy tariffs on all imported goods. Therefore, the destination country or region of your delivery is one of the key factors determining the amount of tariffs.
III. Tariff Payment and Liability Description
- Payment Methods: When your package arrives at the destination country or region, the customs will assess and levy tariffs according to local policies. The payment methods for tariffs are usually stipulated by the customs of the destination country or region, which may include but are not limited to direct payment to the institutions designated by the customs (such as collection by the postal service, payment through the customs online payment platform, etc.) during the package clearance process, or payment through specific channels after you receive the customs notice. The specific payment methods and notice forms will be handled by the customs of the destination country or region, and we cannot interfere or uniformly specify them.
- Liability Definition: Our responsibility is to accurately deliver goods according to your order requirements and handle the relevant documents of the packages in accordance with the above – mentioned declaration principles. However, the occurrence and specific amount of tariffs and import duties are based on the laws and policies of the destination country or region, and we cannot control or determine them in advance. Therefore, under any circumstances, the fees generated by tariffs and import duties shall be borne by you. If you refuse to pay the tariffs, resulting in the package being returned or other consequences, we will not be liable. However, we will do our best to assist you in communicating and coordinating with relevant parties and provide necessary order and shipping information.
IV. Policy Adjustment and Notification
Since the tariff policies of countries and regions around the world may be adjusted due to factors such as the amendment of laws and regulations and changes in trade agreements, our tariff and import duty policies may also be updated accordingly. When significant changes occur to the policies, we will notify you through website announcements, emails, and other means. Please regularly check our policy update information to keep abreast of the latest regulations on tariffs and import duties when shopping. After the policy is updated, your continued use of our international shipping services will be deemed as acceptance of the new policy terms.
V. Supplementary Instructions
- Situations of Special Goods: If the goods you purchase belong to categories restricted for import or requiring special permits in the destination country or region, such as animal and plant products, pharmaceuticals, antiques, etc., in addition to tariffs, you may also need to handle the relevant import permit procedures on your own and bear the additional costs and risks arising therefrom. If the goods cannot be cleared due to failure to complete the legal procedures, we will not be liable, and the goods may be detained or returned by the customs, and the related losses shall be borne by you.
- Handling of Tariff Disputes: If you have disputes regarding the amount of tariffs levied by the customs, we recommend that you directly communicate and negotiate with the local customs to understand the specific basis and calculation methods for tax collection. We can provide necessary documents such as order details and proof of goods value at your request, but we cannot directly participate in the dispute resolution process between you and the customs. Please note that during the dispute resolution period, it may cause delays in package clearance and delivery, and the additional storage fees and other expenses arising therefrom shall also be borne by you.
- Relationship between Logistics Timeliness and Tariffs: During the package clearance process, delays in tariff payment or customs inspections may lead to an extension of the package delivery time. We cannot control the customs clearance process and timeliness of the customs. Therefore, we will not be liable for compensation for logistics delays caused by tariff issues. However, we will continuously track the package status and promptly feedback the latest information to you.
- Currency Exchange and Tax Calculation: The calculation of tariffs and import duties is usually in the currency of the destination country or region. Due to real – time fluctuations in exchange rates, the actual amount of tariffs you pay may differ from the estimated amount due to exchange rate changes. The exchange rate is subject to the official exchange rate or the designated exchange rate on the day the customs levies taxes, and the risks associated with exchange rate fluctuations shall be borne by you.
