CUSTOMS, IMPORT TAX, AND DUTY PAYMENTS.
All parcels are counted as ‘Delivery Duties Unpaid’ (or DDU), which means that the receiver has to pay for any potential duties or charges associated with the parcel. Customs authorities typically work very closely with their national postal authority, who will ultimately be responsible for delivering your parcel. The local customs offices for that particular country will always have their own payment processes in place, and the different options will vary by country. When your parcel arrives at its destination, the customs agency will decide as to whether or not duties and taxes have to be paid, based on the identity of the product and local rules.
DELIVERY DUTIES
Many parcels won’t require any import duties to be paid, because they’ll fall under the country’s low-value threshold. If duties do need to be paid, the local postal or customs authority for that country will most likely get in touch with the receiver of the parcel to organise it with them directly.
These are:
Paying online before collecting the parcel
Paying in-person when collecting the parcel
Paying upon the delivery of the parcel
TALK TO LOCAL CUSTOMS AUTHORITIES
If you want to know more about which payment process you may be applied (if there are any), please check with your country's international postal and customs authority directly. (Hint: If you have a particular question, then a quick search online, or a peek through the destination country’s government website is a great place to find what you need.)
