All international orders are currently prepared, packaged, inspected, and shipped out from our USA warehouse. We use international transportation services provided by FedEx or DHL to deliver across the world.

If this is your first time buying from the United States: please ensure to look into your country's import process to fully understand the import process and to determine if there will be any customs taxes levied on the package. As a general observation: if you pay a local sales tax for goods and services, you will most likely encounter the same kind of taxation during the import process. Every country is different so please ensure to understand your country's import process.

NOTE: International orders may be subject to Customs Duty charges upon receipt of the package.

  • Duties and taxes are not included in the price of the goods you purchase, and are not included in the overall shipping costs you pay to for freight/shipping costs.

  • When goods are not shipped domestically (within your country) or within a single customs union, such as the European Union, they may be subject to a customs duty, which is a tariff or tax imposed on goods when transported across international borders.

  • You may be liable to pay any inbound duties and taxes which your local customs authority deems appropriate.
