When shopping internationally, customs fees are an important consideration. These fees are imposed by your country’s customs authority and are separate from the shipping charges you pay to PostFromUS. It's essential to be aware of these potential costs as they can significantly impact the total cost of receiving your package.

Why PostFromUS Doesn’t Handle Customs Fees

Customs fees, duties, and taxes are determined by the customs authorities of the destination country. Since these charges are government-mandated, they must be paid by the recipient directly to the customs office upon the package’s arrival in your country. PostFromUS has no control over these fees and, therefore, cannot handle or pay them on your behalf.

What You Can Do

To avoid surprises, it’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with your country’s customs policies before making a purchase. You can check with your local customs office or use online calculators to estimate potential fees. This way, you can plan your purchases accordingly and be prepared for any additional costs.
