How Are Taxes and Duties Calculated?

The final amount the recipient or customer pays for taxes and duties depends on several factors, including:

• Value of the goods: Taxes and duties are calculated based on the declared value of the goods.
• Type of goods: Some products, such as gifts or personal items, may have reduced tax rates or exemptions.
• Destination country: Each country has its own rules and rates for taxes and duties.

Remember that shipments below the minimum threshold (De Minimis) are generally tax-free.
