Customs, Duties, and Taxes for International ShippingUpdated 3 months ago

Here's what you need to know about customs, duties, and taxes when ordering from outside the United States:

Understanding Customs Duties and Taxes:

When you order from Body by Raven Tracy and the shipment crosses international borders, it may be subject to import duties and taxes which are levied once a shipment reaches your country.

Responsibility for Charges:

  • Charges are Your Responsibility: As the recipient, you are liable for all import duties, customs, and local sales taxes levied by the country you are shipping to; payment of these is necessary to release your order from customs on arrival.

  • Why You Are Charged: These charges are imposed by your local customs office and are outside our control. They are based on the value of your purchase and the tax-free threshold, if it exists, for goods imported into your country.

How to Estimate Duties and Taxes:

  • Estimation Tools: While Body by Raven Tracy cannot predict what your particular charges may be, you can visit your local customs office’s website or contact them directly to estimate the fees.

Payment of Duties and Taxes:

  • Convenient Payment at Checkout: To simplify the process and ensure a smooth delivery experience, Body by Raven Tracy has integrated the payment of customs duties and taxes directly into our checkout process. This means you can take care of these fees when you place your order, rather than upon arrival of your shipment.

  • Seamless International Shopping: By paying these fees upfront at checkout, you avoid potential delays at customs and ensure faster processing and delivery of your order. This service is designed to make international shopping easier and more predictable for you.

Additional Information:

  • Delays Due to Customs: Please be aware that customs clearance procedures can sometimes cause delays beyond our original delivery estimates. This is not uncommon and can depend on the volume of goods going through customs.

Questions or Concerns:

If you have questions about customs charges or need more guidance on duties and taxes, we recommend contacting your local customs office for more information. Understanding these fees can help ensure a smoother delivery process for your international orders.

Thank you for your understanding and patience as we work to provide you with the best international shipping options available. Our goal is to make sure you receive your order as quickly and smoothly as possible.
