Separate duty, VAT and handling
Duty, consumption tax and carrier processing charges are different cost lines. A threshold can apply to one without exempting another. Ask which charges your route collects and which remain due at delivery.
No live tax calculation, clearance probability or delivery guarantee is provided. Classification, origin, route, date and destination rules determine the actual import charge.
