• Possible charges: Import duty, VAT/GST/sales tax, brokerage/clearance fees, remote-area surcharges, storage or inspection fees.
• When charged: Typically requested by the carrier (e.g., DHL/UPS/FedEx/DPD) before or at delivery; sometimes payable to your customs office for release.

• Customs checks/KYC: You may be asked for ID, tax number (e.g., EORI/VAT), or extra information to clear medical equipment.

If fees are unpaid or assistance is not provided: The carrier may return the parcel or mark it abandoned by customs. In such cases:

• If returned to us in good, resalable condition, we will refund the product price only. Original shipping, return freight, customs handling and any carrier fees are non-refundable and may be deducted.
• If customs abandon or dispose of the parcel, we cannot refund.

Returns across borders: If you have already paid duties/taxes and then return goods internationally, your local authority may allow you to claim back some charges. This process varies by country and is handled directly with your customs office; we can provide proof of export/return where available.

Before you order: Please check local rules (product admissibility, medical device restrictions, and any prescription requirements) and estimate duty/tax to avoid surprises.
