Check import costs before ordering

Confirm who pays import charges and who handles customs clearance. A low overseas listing price may exclude costs due on delivery.

What to check

  • Identify the destination country, product classification and declared value.
  • Ask whether duties and taxes are included in the checkout total.
  • Check possible carrier brokerage or handling fees.
  • Read international return terms and who handles any tax-recovery request.

Use the destination customs authority and carrier for current charges. Rates and exemptions change; an AI estimate needs its source, date and assumptions before it belongs in a budget.
