What should I do if a parcel sent by mail is subject to customs duties?

Why will your parcel be taxed? Parcels sent by customs are subject to customs duty, and the two conditions of "being detected by customs and the declared value exceeds the tariff threshold of the importing country" need to be met.

What should you do if your parcel is subject to customs duties?



1. Contact the forwarding company to help pay the tax on your behalf
