However, we do not cover import customs fees.
If you are located in the EU or the USA, you won’t be required to pay any extra import duties.
=====
If you live in a country outside the EU or the USA, you will most likely have to pay an import tax present in your country.
We cannot affect or include this in the price since we cannot avoid taxation or pre-pay the import tax amounts for every single backer in every country in the world.
Different countries have different amounts and forms of import tax, but it usually ranges from 10% to 30% depending on the country, the value of the goods imported, and the type of the goods.
If you’d like to know more about import tax and whether you’ll have to pay it for your purchase, please contact us or visit your country’s customs office’s official website - they usually have this explained on their web pages in every country.
