Note to International Shippers:
Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in your shipping estimate or on your final invoice. These charges are your responsibility. Please check with your country’s customs office to determine what these additional costs will be. When filling out the customs form we accurately describe the contents and do not mark merchandise values lower than the selling price or mark items as gifts, as U.S. and international government regulations prohibit this.
