Customs, Duties and Taxes for Courier Shipments

International goods shipments cross a customs border. The sender must describe the contents accurately, while the destination authority decides whether duties or taxes apply.

01

What to prepare

Provide clear article names, quantities, purpose and realistic values. Vague descriptions can delay review or delivery.

  • Specific article descriptions
  • Quantity and value
  • Reason for sending
  • Supporting invoice or prescription when relevant
02

What the courier price may exclude

Import duties, taxes, storage, inspection and certain destination charges may be collected separately. Your final quotation will state the transport inclusions known at the time.
