Texes, custom duduties
We don't add taxes, VAT, or other hidden charges. You pay what you see on the checkout page, i.e. goods subtotal + shipping cost.
What you see on the invoice summary on the final checkout screen is what you have to pay to DuDuTa.
Possible additional costs to you may include:
- bank transfer charges,
- Paypal money 'upload' (i.e. deposit) charges,
- and any import duties that are levied at customs.
In any one country the rules are often applied differently in different places, and sometimes rather randomly.
DuDuTa is based in China. We are a Chinese company. Therefore anything you buy from us is going to be imported as far as your country's customs are concerned.
Unfortunately there is no way for us to know the rules, regulations, customs, traditions, practices, loopholes, schemes, systems, paperwork, codes, laws, or rulings of any country.
Please note that if you are re-selling (or drop-shipping) goods from DuDuTa, it is your responsibility to ensure you are abiding by the tax (and other) regulations for selling goods in your home country and the destination country.
Please note that if you are drop-shipping to end customers it is your responsibility to let them know about any taxes they may have to pay when receiving goods from the courier.
Obviously you will want this to be as low as possible, but DuDuTa can not give you advice or information about tax rates and customs charges in your country.
All we can do is declare the value of the shipped goods at a nominal value (see below), which may still be fully taxable.
Items shipped from DuDuTa will be declared at the lowest nominal market price as a standard assumption.
This lowest market price is based on the manufacturing origin and might not be reflective of how much the item will cost you if bought in your local retail market.
You must ensure you find out about regulations in your own country before ordering from us. In most countries the actual origin of the goods (China) is not important: only the declared value of the goods and declared contents is relevant.
Let us know if you have any special packing or labeling instructions when placing your order. Add comments to the box on the "Delivery Information" page of the Checkout Process.
If you find out information about the import tax situation in your country, and you believe there are ways for you to minimize the taxes you have to pay (or eliminate the taxes altogether), we are happier to follow your instructions regarding labeling, packing, declarations, invoices, etc. Just tell us what you need and we will let you know what we can do to help.
