-
What this means: The shipping fees collected during checkout cover physical freight and transit costs from our workshop to your delivery address.
-
Excluded costs: Checkout totals do not include local import duties, customs taxes, value-added taxes (VAT), or administrative clearance fees levied by your destination country.
2. US Customs & Global Import Duties
When your package arrives in the destination country, it is subject to customs clearance procedures enforced by local government authorities (such as U.S. Customs and Border Protection for deliveries to the United States).
-
Assessment: Import duties, national taxes, local VAT, and carrier administration fees are evaluated directly by the destination country's customs department.
-
Billing: If applicable, these duties are billed directly to the recipient by our express courier partners (e.g., DHL Express, FedEx) prior to or upon final package delivery.
3. How Duties Are Calculated
Customs duties and taxes are determined once the parcel reaches the destination border. The exact charges depend on several factors:
|
Assessment Factor |
Description & Impact |
|---|---|
|
Destination Country |
Local tax regulations and duty threshold limits (de minimis values) set by national law. |
|
Declared Order Value |
The total declared monetary value of the items contained within the shipment. |
|
Product Classification |
Textile rules, garment composition (e.g., cotton, silk, synthetic weaves), and crafting techniques. |
4. Customer Responsibilities & Delays
Recipient Responsibility
It is the sole responsibility of the customer/recipient to satisfy all local customs duties, taxes, and import fees required by law. In certain instances, destination customs officials or the courier may reach out directly to request additional verification or personal identification documentation to clear the parcel.
Customs Clearance Delays
While our courier partners work diligently to clear shipments quickly, routine inspections or clearance backlog by local customs authorities may cause occasional delivery delays. Fun Little Ones is not responsible for transit delays caused by destination customs holding procedures.
5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Are customs duties included in my checkout total?
No. Shipping fees paid during checkout on www.funlittleones.com cover international courier and transit charges only. Any import duties, local taxes, or customs clearance fees assessed by your country are paid separately by the recipient upon arrival.
What happens if I decline to pay customs charges?
If a recipient refuses to pay the required import duties, taxes, or courier administration fees, the package may be abandoned by the courier or returned to our Mumbai workshop. In such cases, any return shipping fees, unpaid customs charges, and handling costs incurred will be deducted from any applicable refund or credit.
How will I be contacted for duty payments?
Once your shipment reaches your local hub, the designated express courier (such as DHL or FedEx) will send an SMS notification, email, or phone call containing a secure payment link or instructions to pay the outstanding balance before delivery.
