Customs Duties & Taxes Policy

Effective Date: July 18, 2025

At BLUEPEAKERS, we proudly ship worldwide to share the beauty of our handcrafted goods with every corner of the globe. Please read this Customs Duties & Taxes Policy carefully before placing your international order.

1. International Shipping & Import Overview

When a package crosses international borders, it may be subject to customs duties, taxes, VAT, or import fees levied by the destination country.

These charges are not included in the product price or shipping fees displayed at checkout.

2. Who Is Responsible for Customs Charges?

Customers are solely responsible for paying any customs duties, import taxes, VAT, or handling fees required by their local authorities.

We do not pre-pay or collect international duties and taxes at the time of checkout. These fees, if applicable, will be assessed and collected by your country’s customs office upon delivery.

3. What Fees May Be Charged?

Depending on your country’s regulations, you may be charged:

Import Duties (a percentage of the item’s value)
Value Added Tax (VAT)
Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Brokerage or Handling Fees by your local courier or customs agency

These vary by country and product type. Contact your local customs office for specific guidance.

4. Customs Delays

International orders may be delayed by customs inspections. This is beyond our control and may affect estimated delivery times. We appreciate your patience and recommend tracking your parcel closely once it arrives in your country.

5. Refusal to Pay Duties or Abandoned Packages

If you choose to reject a package due to customs fees:

We may deduct return shipping costs and any customs handling charges from your refund.
If the package is abandoned or destroyed by customs, no refund will be issued.

6. EU and UK Customers

Due to new VAT and import regulations in the European Union and United Kingdom, orders above a certain threshold may incur extra charges. We are not liable for any unexpected customs payments after checkout.
