How to Handle Duties and Taxes on Your International Shipments with TRT Express

When sending packages internationally, it’s essential to understand how duties and taxes work. At TRT Express, we strive to make your shipping experience as smooth as possible, guiding you through every step—even the customs process! Here’s what you need to know about paying duties and taxes for international shipments.

Understanding Customs Clearance for All Shipments 

All shipments—including gifts, samples, and personal parcels—must undergo customs clearance according to the regulations of the destination country. Customs evaluates packages based on several factors, such as the type, value, and quantity of items in each shipment. This process ensures compliance with local rules and determines if any duties or taxes are due.

When Are Duties and Taxes Applied?

Each country has a specific threshold for duty-free shipments. However, if the value of your gift or parcel exceeds the local allowance:

•You may be required to pay duties and taxes based on the shipment’s total value and contents.

•The customs office assesses the exact charges and informs us, so you’ll know what’s due before release.

Key Points About Duties and Taxes for International Shipments

•Value Limits Vary by Country: Each country sets its own duty-free limits. For instance, a small gift might be exempt in one country but taxable in another.

•Customs Fees Must Be Paid Before Delivery: To ensure a smooth, on-time delivery, all duties and taxes must be fully settled. TRT Express can only release the package after customs payments are confirmed.

•Support Throughout the Process: Our team at TRT Express is here to help you understand the requirements for your specific shipment and provide you with instructions for handling any duties and taxes that apply.
