How much I will be charged for the import duty?
The amount of customs is different from one country to the other country according to your country tariff policy.
Please note:
Our shipping options include Regular Mail and Express Service. So the amount of customs will be different.
For package shipped by Hong Kong Post, Global Mail post (please refer to our Shipment Policy), we usually declare invoice value as 10-20usd and mark it as gift. Usually, we do like this, your package will not be charged for a high import duty by the customs, but it depends on your country tariff policy
For package shipped by Express Service, such as DHL, Fedex, EMS, TNT. The amount of import duty will be charged differently because of the difference of your importing country’s tariff policy.
DHL upgraded policy about declared value:
1. According to the regulation of DHL, the customs declared value should be not less than 60USD, otherwise DHL company will not delivery the package, or some documents will be provided to DHL, which will bring us much inconvenience, therefore, we have to declare the value up to 60USD. Please you get this note.
In order to resist the too-low declared value; the Customs regulate some customs clearance policy. If your package declared value is too low, you will be fined or your package will be returned to us. At the same time you as package receiver will be blacklisted in the Customs and DHL.
2. If you sign for the package with your personal name, we will be required by DHL Company to provide the trade documents between us.
UPS and EMS: so far, UPS and EMS haven’t upgraded their customs clearance policy as DHL Company required.
