Do I Pay Local Sales Tax or Customs Fees?

The short answer is: it depends entirely on where you are shipping your order!

Sales tax and international customs fees are determined strictly by local government regulations and your specific destination. Because these laws vary completely from town to town and country to country, these amounts are entirely out of our hands.

Orders Within the United States

If your order is shipping within the U.S., local sales tax may apply depending on your exact state, county, and city tax laws.

• How it is applied: Our website automatically calculates the exact legal tax required by your local government at the very final step of checkout, right after you enter your shipping ZIP code.

• Where do I see it? Any applicable local sales tax will appear as a clear, separate line item right above your final order total before you click "Submit Order." You will always see the exact amount before you pay!

• What to know: Because local tax rates change constantly across thousands of different districts, our customer support team does not have access to a list of regional tax rates and cannot calculate, estimate, or look up your tax amount for you. The final checkout screen before payment is the only place this automated calculation can be viewed.

International Orders (Outside the U.S.)

All international shipments may be subject to local customs regulations, import duties, or brokerage fees set by your destination country.

• How it is applied: Any incurred charges are issued directly by your local government border authorities once the package arrives in your country.

• What to know: Because every country has entirely different and changing laws, we cannot predict, calculate, or see these amounts beforehand. Our support team has no way of knowing which countries or states will levy these charges or what the exact amount will be, and these local fees are the sole responsibility of the recipient. For the most accurate information regarding international shipments, please contact your local customs office directly.

🤝 A quick heads-up: Because these fees are charged directly by your local government (and not by us), we cannot calculate or include them in your checkout total. Any local customs charges are the buyer's responsibility.

💡 Pro-Tip: Because international laws change frequently, we highly recommend taking a quick peek at your local customs website or giving them a call if you want to know your country's exact duty rates before ordering!

Important: All international shipments may be subject to customs regulations. Any incurred charges are your responsibility and we can’t be held liable for them. 

Important: We suggest contacting your local customs office for more information, as every country has different laws and regulations regarding international shipments.
