CUSTOMS, DUTIES AND TAXES


Warning
PLEASE BE AWARE YOUR SHIPMENT MAY BE SUBJECT TO CUSTOMS DUTIES AND TAXES.

What are Customs Duties and Taxes?

Each destination country charges customs and administrative fees on shipments containing dutiable items. Dutiable means that an item is subject to taxes. Purple Wishing Gate and our shipping service USPS does not have any way of knowing if an item is dutiable.

Customs issues and regulations are outside the control of Purple Wishing Gate and the United States Postal Service.

  • Mailers of packages in the United States pay for postage that covers the cost of transporting and delivering packages. Customs duties and taxes are not covered in the postage fee but are the responsibility of the recipient.

  • We recommend that you contact your local customs office by phone or by visiting their website for more details.


Can Purple Wishing Gate pay Customs Duties and Taxes for me?

The short answer is No.

Customs, duties and other fees assessed by the destination country for an item can NOT be paid by anyone or any entity within the United States when the item is mailed. The recipient of the mail piece is the only one who can pay the customs fees.

All items entering a foreign country are subject to customs inspection and assessment of duties, taxes, and fees in accordance with that country's national laws. Customs duties and taxes are assessed, generally, if the item sent is dutiable and if the value of the item is above the threshold set by the country's laws. Each country assesses customs, duties, and taxes differently.


Warning

It is important to understand that, if duties and taxes are assessed on an item mailed by PWG via USPS, they are collected from you the recipient. Postage is charged to cover the expense of delivery only. Postage does not cover charges assessed by customs in the destination country.


CANADA

Anything worth over $20 CAD will be subject to Tax and Duty.

  • The Goods and Service Tax (GST) is set at 5%, which is automatically applied to any import valued more than $20 CAD.


Note: In British Columbia, Manitoba, Quebec or Saskatchewan a Provincial Sales Tax (PST) may also be applied.

UNITED KINGDOM

(GREAT BRITAIN / NORTHERN IRELAND)

Both VAT and the handling fee are not charged to the seller, but are charged to the customer once the package arrives in the UK, meaning that the seller does not charge the money for these two fees when the items are purchased since it is on the customer to pay after the items have shipped."
