Shipping and customs limits of some countries

For all -

When you use UPS/FEDEX courier service, you will have to pay brokerage fees for customs clearance services, which cost about 25 USD (in addition to the standard mandatory customs fees).

If you are not satisfied with this, please choose another type of delivery, not by courier. 

For EU - 

The following types of delivery are available for you.

• UKRPOCHTA - inexpensive delivery (10-21 days). The cost of delivery is from $8.
  If the cost of the order is at least $130 and the weight does not exceed 0.5 kg, such delivery will be free!
  Customs clearance is carried out according to a simplified system at the expense of the buyer, the amount of payments will not be expensive.
• UPS GROUND - courier delivery (7-12 days), cost from $21.
  If the value of the order is at least $350, such delivery will be free!
  Customs clearance is carried out at the entrance to the European Union in Poland, all customs payments and brokerage fees are paid by me!
  All you have to do is wait for the courier with your favorite tools.

United States

Attention customers from the USA – Changes in customs regulations
Starting from August 29, all packages will be subject to customs duties. This depends on the sender’s country and the type of goods.

If you place an order on my website, it’s simple – you do NOT pay any customs fees. Everything is included in the product price, and I cover the customs costs myself.

For Ukraine, the customs rate is the lowest, so buying from Ukraine will only slightly affect your costs. However, I recommend checking before purchasing from any foreign seller whether they cover customs fees, as otherwise it may come as a surprise for you.

One more note regarding shipping carriers:
UPS charges high brokerage fees (over $40 USD). This is not a customs duty – it’s the fee for the customs broker and does not depend on the package value. I can ship via UPS, but please note that this amount must be paid before receiving the package. For low-cost orders, this may not be practical. For comparison, FedEx charges significantly less, around $5 USD.

All discounts and free shipping (from $150) still apply.

Great Britain

International shipments with an FOB value (declared value, excluding shipping and insurance) of up to 135 GBP (≈160.15 USD) are duty-free, but are subject to VAT. International shipments with an FOB value above this amount are subject to both duty and sales tax. For items marked as "sale of goods", UK Post requires that a commercial invoice be attached to the envelope of the item.

In general, customs in the UK are quite strict, and for UPS courier delivery there are additional costs for the services of a customs broker.

If you are not in a hurry, it is better to choose UKRPOSHTA delivery, as a rule, it lasts up to two weeks, and for orders worth up to 135GBP, customs payments will be minimal.

Australia

International shipments with an FOB value (cost of goods excluding shipping and insurance) up to AUD 1,000 (≈639 USD) are not subject to duty or sales tax.

Delivery to Australia is a little more expensive and takes a little longer, otherwise everything is the same as, for example, to the USA.

As for inexpensive delivery, it is better to choose UKRPOSHTA, if several options are available. It will be a little faster.

The information is collected from publicly available resources. Payment of customs brokerage services, duties, taxes and other fees takes place in the country of customs clearance. The amount of customs payments, taxes, fees is determined by the legislation of each country depending on the content and declared value of the shipment, as well as the category of the client: natural or legal person. The recipient can find out this information from the customs authorities of the country of destination.
