Customs Duties & Import Taxes
Who Pays Customs Duties and Taxes?
At KimonoPaint, our products are made to order through production partners, including Printful and Art of Where.
Depending on the shipping origin, destination country, and applicable customs regulations, international orders may be subject to customs duties, import taxes, Value Added Tax (VAT), Goods and Services Tax (GST), or customs clearance fees.
Customer Responsibility
Unless customs duties and import taxes are expressly included in the purchase price or collected at checkout, customers are generally responsible for paying any applicable import charges.
These charges may be collected by the shipping carrier, customs authority, or other authorized service provider before or upon delivery.
How Customs Charges Are Calculated
Customs charges vary depending on factors such as:
- Destination country and local import regulations
- Declared customs value of the shipment
- Product type and customs classification
- Country of origin
- Applicable tax rates and import thresholds
KimonoPaint does not determine the final amount of customs duties or import taxes imposed by local authorities.
Taxes Collected at Checkout
Where applicable, certain taxes or import charges may be included in the product price or collected at checkout.
If duties and taxes are collected in advance, we aim to ensure that the appropriate shipping and customs documentation is used to avoid duplicate charges.
However, additional charges may arise if required by customs authorities or due to discrepancies in shipping documentation.
International Shipping Partners
KimonoPaint works with Printful and Art of Where.
Customs handling, tax collection, and shipping procedures may differ depending on the fulfillment partner and destination.
Customs Clearance and Delivery Delays
Customs inspections and clearance procedures may delay delivery.
We recommend reviewing your country’s import regulations before placing an international order.
Your Consumer Rights
Nothing in this policy limits any mandatory consumer rights under applicable law.
