Important Information for International Deliveries
When shipping internationally, it is essential to be aware of applicable duties, taxes, and regulations. Below are details for key regions:
United States (USA)
De Minimis Threshold: Shipments valued at $800 or less are generally exempt from import duties and taxes.
Shipments Over $800:
Import duties apply based on the product’s classification under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. Shipments valued over $2,500 may require formal entry, involving additional paperwork and potentially the assistance of a customs broker.
European Union (EU, including Ireland)
Value-Added Tax (VAT): All goods imported into the EU are subject to VAT, regardless of value. The VAT rate varies by destination country. Customs Duties: Goods valued over €150 may incur customs duties. Future Changes: The EU is considering removing the current €150 duty-free threshold for online purchases, which may impact shipments.
United Arab Emirates (UAE)
Customs Duties: The UAE generally imposes a 5% customs duty on most goods, including apparel. However, goods imported into Free Trade Zones (FTZs) are exempt unless moved to the mainland. Value-Added Tax (VAT): A 5% VAT applies, calculated on the total value, including the cost of goods, shipping, and insurance.
