International Customs, Duties and Taxes

The local customs office of the destination country may impose customs fees, import duties, taxes, and compliance and other government agency charges to your international order. The recipient of the shipment will be responsible for all the additional charges required for customs clearance. On the arrival of your order at customs, you will either be contacted by our shipper or directly by the customs office to arrange for the payment of any charges that may be due.

JFP has no control over the estimated duty and tax rates mentioned in the table below. As the actual amount charged by customs may differ from those listed, it is advised to contact the destination country's customs office for any further details.
