Import Duties & Taxes (DDU)

These charges are collected by the carrier or customs at delivery.
▣Combined Shipping
-
Items eligible for combined shipping will be packed together and shipped for a single shipping fee. However, some items may not be eligible for combined shipping. In such cases, shipping fees will be charged for each individual item.
-
If you purchase items that are not eligible for free shipping, shipping fees will apply to those items. If multiple items are purchased together, the highest applicable shipping fee will take priority.
-
After shipment, we will provide a tracking number. To promote resource conservation and maintain competitive pricing, we use recycled cardboard boxes. These boxes may have minor stains, tape marks, or unrelated printed text. We take great care in packaging and appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
