Customs and import taxes
Buyers are responsible for any customs duties or import taxes that may apply. Please note that we are not liable for delays caused by customs processes. Certain items, based on their harmonized codes, may incur additional customs fees depending on your country's regulations. As customs laws vary widely by country, these fees are difficult to predict and are determined solely by your local customs authorities.
Some items may be subject to random and infrequent customs inspections. If customs officials request additional information or documents from us, there could be a delay in the delivery process. Rest assured, we do our best to provide all necessary documentation to facilitate a smooth customs clearance.

Difference between Origin vs Made in
Please take a moment to review the distinction between "Origin" and "Made In" labels. These terms may reflect different aspects of a product’s manufacturing or sourcing process and can affect customs declarations, tariffs, and regulatory requirements.
You can find more details about this distinction in the description box of each item on our website. We encourage you to review this information to ensure clarity and avoid any confusion during the shipping or import process.
-
Origin refers to the market of trade—the country or region where the product is being sold or distributed.
-
Made In indicates the country where the item was manufactured or produced.
By purchasing from us, you are agreeing these terms and conditions.
