2. Our Obligations
2.1 We will carry out the Service for you whilst this Agreement is in force, in return for the payment by you to us of the price set out in the Service Order and in accordance with these Conditions.
2.2 We will use reasonable endeavours to meet, but do not guarantee, any particular delivery deadline or date. Any timeframes which are published in the Product and Service Specifications are indicative only, unless we expressly agree otherwise.
2.3 We have the discretion to select the route, the means of transport and the transportation and delivery sub-contractors that we will use to carry out the Service, and may change any of the foregoing at any time.
2.4 We have the right to make any changes to the Service which are necessary to comply with any applicable law or safety requirement, or which do not materially affect the nature or quality of the Service and we shall notify you of any such changes by posting the updated Conditions on the Website.
2.5 If we make any other changes to these Conditions or the Service, we will give you advance notice of the change (which will not be less than 30 days) by posting the updated Conditions on the Website. Any such change will not apply to any Service Order that has already been confirmed.
2.6 We warrant that we will provide the Service using reasonable care and skill.
2.7 If we do not provide the Service with reasonable care and skill, you may require us to repeat or fix the Service or, if that is not possible or not done in a reasonable time, obtain a reasonable reduction in the price from us. If you are a consumer, this is in addition to any rights you may have under the Italian Consumer Laws.
3. Your Obligations
3.1 This Service is available to customers, whether businesses or consumers who reside in Italy or in the European Union. The Service may only be available from or to locations as noted on the Website and updated by us from time to time. Service Orders may only be placed by the registered cardholder of the card which is used to pay for the Service Order (or if you are a business, by an individual who is authorised to act on behalf of such business). However, you acknowledge that we are not under any legal obligation to verify the authority of any person.
3.2 These Conditions are available in Italian and English, and we will communicate with you in English and, where required by Italian Consumer Laws, in Italian.
3.3 Please note that certain items are Prohibited Items and you must not send any Prohibited Items by any of our Services. Please check your item against the Prohibited Item list here: https://send.asendia.com/it-en/help-centre/parcels/can-asendia-carry. If you attempt to send any Prohibited Items, we reserve the right to deal with any Prohibited Item at our sole discretion and, to the extent permitted by law, we will not be liable in any way to you or the recipient of the Consignment containing the Prohibited Item. For the avoidance of doubt, this means that if these items are carried, they are carried without Parcel Protection for damage or loss, regardless of whether Parcel Protection is taken out. Except for cases of our wilful misconduct (dolo) or gross negligence (colpa grave), we disclaim all liability in respect of any Prohibited Items. We have the right to dispose of any Prohibited Items, in whole or in part, as we decide, and reserve the right to charge you for any reasonable costs we incur in doing so.
3.4 You must:
(a) to the extent reasonably required, co-operate with us in all matters relating to our provision of the Service;
(b) provide us with access to your premises, office accommodation and other facilities to the extent reasonably required if any of these are to be the Collection Point or Delivery Point and be responsible for ensuring that the premises are free of hazardous materials and do not pose a health and safety risk to us or our personnel;
(c) provide us with such information and materials as we may reasonably require in order to supply the Service and ensure that such information is accurate in all material respects (including by ensuring it complies with our Product and Service Specifications);
(d) ensure that the information you supply in the Service Order is complete and accurate. You must ensure the size, weight, contents and value of the items in the Consignment are accurate. If the declaration is wrong, we may charge you in accordance with clause 11;
(e) not cause us to carry anything if it would be illegal or unlawful for us to do so (either in Italy or any country to which a Consignment is to be delivered or through which it transits), including if it would be illegal or unlawful to deliver to the intended addressee. You agree that, if you do this, you will indemnify us against any losses and/or damage that we may suffer as a consequence.
3.5 It is your responsibility to prepare, mark, address and package the Consignment in such a way as to protect it against loss and damage. You must label the Consignment correctly.
3.6 It is your responsibility to check and prepare any import and export documentation which is required by any law or government authority to ensure that the Consignment may be sent to the recipient and to understand what duties, embargo rules, international sanctions and other criteria may apply. You may be required to complete customs declarations and other documentation before we can accept your Consignment. You will confirm that your Consignment complies with the import, export and customs laws and regulations of the country of departure, transit and of the destination country. Except for cases of our wilful misconduct (dolo) or gross negligence (colpa grave), we are not responsible for any delays or failures to deliver caused by any customs declarations, other documentation or government authorities.
3.7 You understand and accept that your Consignment may be opened or scanned (including by x-ray or other security screening methods) by us, or government authorities to confirm its contents or for other lawful purposes (including to ascertain your identity or a return address, in the case that the Consignment needs to be returned to you).
3.8 In addition to the items on the Prohibited Items list, you must not send any of the following: livestock; liquids; perishable goods; gases; pyrotechnics; arms; ammunition; corrosive; toxic; flammable; explosive; oxidising or radioactive materials.
3.9 We reserve the right to refuse to carry any parcels which are neither the property of, nor sent on behalf of, you.
3.10 You acknowledge that, if there is a strike by (if you are a business) any employees of yours, or the employees of any person receiving delivery, then you agree that our representative shall not be asked to perform any additional duties or any duties of a strike-breaking nature.
3.11 You must send each package as a separate Consignment. If you wish to combine a number of discrete packages within a Consignment, you must do this within an outer box or packaging fully encompassing each discrete package. If you do not do this and any individual discrete package(s) come apart in transit resulting in one or more of them being lost, then once the remaining parcel(s) are delivered to the recipient, you accept that you cannot make a claim for loss or partial loss of the Consignment, except for cases of our wilful misconduct (dolo) or gross negligence (colpa grave).
3.12 Certain other items are not eligible for Parcel Protection for damage or loss. If you elect to send these items as a Consignment, subject to applicable law, you do so at your risk. Subject to clause 7, we do not accept any liability for damage to or made by these items caused through the use of our Service (the No Protection Items). Please check your item against the No Protection Items list here: https://send.asendia.com/it-en/help-centre/parcels/can-asendia-carry. For further details, you must read clause 7.12.
3.13 Certain other items require more detail from you before they can be sent using our Service. Please check your item against the more information required list here: https://send.asendia.com/it-en/help-centre/parcels/can-asendia-carry.
4. Loading and Unloading
If collection or delivery of a Consignment takes place at your premises, we shall not be under any obligation to provide any equipment or labour which, apart from the driver collecting the Consignment, may be required for loading or unloading of a Consignment.
5. Collection and Deliveries
5.1 If we are unable to deliver a Consignment at the Delivery Point, you agree that we shall be authorised, after having informed you, to attempt to deliver the Consignment to a nearby address or a safe location (but we are not obliged to do so).
5.2 We may open an undelivered Consignment if your identity cannot be ascertained from the exterior of the packaging. If, after the opening of the Consignment, you or any party who is entitled to claim the Consignment remain unidentified, we may, after the period which is required by law, dispose of the Consignment under the conditions described in clause 11.8.
5.3 If we consider that the Consignment has become a Damaged Consignment and cannot be delivered because it is, or in our reasonable opinion is likely to be, unsafe, hazardous or harmful, we reserve the right to dispose of the Damaged Consignment immediately. To the extent that your act or omission caused the Consignment to become a Damaged Consignment, we may charge you for our reasonable costs of such disposal.
5.4 Return information is captured from the collection address details listed in the Service Order.
6. Sub-Contractors
You agree that we may use third parties to support our provision of the Service to you. No contractual relationship is formed between you and our sub-contractors under these Conditions or by virtue of our sub-contractors performing any part of the Service. Subject to clause 7, we are liable for the acts and omissions of our sub-contractors.
7. Our Liability
YOUR ATTENTION IS DRAWN PARTICULARLY TO THIS CLAUSE AND THE LIMITS OF OUR LIABILITY WITHIN IT.
7.1 Nothing in this Agreement is intended to limit any right or remedy you may have under mandatory provisions of Italian law, including, if you are a consumer, Italian Consumer Laws. The Service is provided with guarantees that cannot be excluded under mandatory provisions of Italian law, including Italian Consumer Laws. For major failures with the Service, you are entitled:
(a) to cancel the Service contract with us; and
(b) to a refund for the unused portion, or to compensation for its reduced value.
You are also entitled to be compensated for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. If the Service failure does not amount to a major Service failure, you are entitled to have problems with the Service rectified in a reasonable time and, if this is not done, to cancel your contract and obtain a refund for the unused portion of the contract.
7.2 Nothing in these Conditions excludes, restricts or modifies any warranty, term, guarantee, representation or condition, or any right or remedy, implied or imposed by any law which cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified. If any warranty, term, guarantee, representation or condition is implied into these Conditions and cannot be excluded (a Non-Excludable Provision), and we are able to limit the remedy for a breach of such a Non-Excludable Provision, then our liability for breach of such Non-Excludable Provision will be limited to one of the following, at our option:
(a) supplying the Service again; or
(b) the payment of the cost of having the Service supplied again.
7.3 Further, nothing in these Conditions limits any liability we may have in connection with any representations or other communications (either oral or written) where such liability cannot be excluded under applicable law.
7.4 Nothing in this Agreement shall limit or exclude our liability for:
(a) death or personal injury caused by our negligence; or
(b) gross negligence (colpa grave), wilful misconduct (dolo) or fraudulent misrepresentation,
even where such exception is not expressly stated.
7.5 As a responsible business, we will perform the Service in a professional manner with the appropriate level of skill and care. However, loss of or damage to a Consignment may still occur as a consequence of our handling of it and, in such circumstances, our liability shall be limited as set out in these Conditions. The reasoning behind such limitation of our liability is as follows:
(a) the value of a Consignment and the amount of potential loss to you that could arise if a Consignment is damaged or lost is not something which we can easily ascertain but is something which is better known to you. In many cases, it cannot be known to us at all and can only be known to you;
(b) the potential amount of loss that might be caused or alleged to be caused to you is likely to be disproportionate to the sum that we could reasonably be expected to charge you for providing the Service under this Agreement;
(c) it is not possible for us to obtain protection which would give unlimited protection for our full potential liability to all of our customers and, even if it were, such protection would be much cheaper if taken out by you (rather than us taking out such protection and passing the cost on to you) and, on that basis, it is more reasonable for you to take out such protection from an independent third party. Please note that you are also able to purchase Parcel Protection from us for your Consignment during the ordering process;
(d) we wish to keep the costs of providing the Service to you as low as possible;
(e) in light of the above, we wish to limit our liability for any damage or loss which is caused to you to a level which we consider reasonable to our low charges for providing the Service; and
(f) we investigate all claims which are received by us in a fair and speedy manner, but such investigations are more accurate and are easier to perform soon after the loss or damage is alleged to have incurred and, on that basis, the timescales set out in this Agreement are necessary to ensure that such investigations can be performed fairly.
The Extent of our Liability
7.6 To the extent permitted by law, we shall only be liable for damage or loss caused to you if it is caused by our negligence, breach of duty or other wrongful act or omission, and only subject to the limitations set out within this clause 7 and clause 8.
7.7 Except in cases of wilful misconduct (dolo) or gross negligence (colpa grave), and without prejudice to liability for personal injury, our liability towards you shall be limited to direct and foreseeable damages resulting from our contractual breach or wrongful act.
We shall in no event be liable for any indirect or consequential damages, such as loss of profits, business opportunities, or reputation, unless such damages are the immediate and direct consequence of our wilful misconduct (dolo) or gross negligence (colpa grave).
7.8 We shall not be liable to you:
(a) under any circumstances where there are any material discrepancies (meaning more than 10% difference) between the declared dimensions and/or weights you have entered and the actual dimensions and/or weights as reasonably determined by us, where the relevant loss or damage would not have arisen if the relevant declared dimensions and/or weights were accurately declared;
(b) for the cost or expense of any customs, duties or other taxes that arise due to your Consignment;
(c) in any circumstances in respect of the items on the Prohibited Items; Items Protected for Loss Only; or for loss of or damage to the No Protection Items lists, unless otherwise stated by us; or
(d) for any loss or damage due to unsuitable packaging used for the Consignment, or for any damage to any such packaging.
The Limitation on the Amount of our Liability
7.9 To the extent permitted by law, if we are liable to you for any reason, our liability will be limited to:
(a) if you have not purchased Parcel Protection, a refund to you of the cost paid to us for the Service; or
(b) if you have purchased Parcel Protection, the lesser of: (i) the value of the Parcel Protection taken out; or (ii) the actual value of the Consignment at the date of loss or damage (as applicable).
For clarity, Parcel Protection does not apply to any items listed on the “Items Protected for Loss Only” and “No Protection Items” lists. If your Consignment includes an item on the “Items Protected for Loss Only” or “No Protection Items” list, our liability is limited to a refund to you of the cost paid to us for the Service, regardless of whether you purchased Parcel Protection.
7.10 We offer two types of Parcel Protection for Consignments:
(a) Protection for loss or damage; and
(b) Protection for loss only.
Please note that if you purchase Parcel Protection for loss only, that level of Parcel Protection does not provide any additional coverage for any damage which is caused to the Consignment. As such, if any damage is caused to the Consignment by our negligence, breach of duty or other wrongful act or omission, our liability for such damage is limited to a refund to you of the cost paid to us for the Service.
7.11 In order to ascertain the extent of our liability above, we shall require proof of the loss, including the value and weight of the entire Consignment and any constituent part or parts and you should ensure that, prior to our collection of the Consignment, you have a record of them.
No Protection Items and Items Protected for Loss Only
7.12 Certain items are not eligible for Parcel Protection for damage or loss. If you decide to send such items, you do so at your own risk. A list of these items can be found at: https://send.asendia.com/it-en/help-centre/parcels/can-asendia-carry.
7.13 We do not accept any liability for damage to or damage caused by any of the items on these lists. For the avoidance of doubt, if you purchase Parcel Protection for the items on the “Items Protected for Loss Only” list, they will be covered by Parcel Protection only in the event they are lost by us.
Special Provisions
7.14 We shall not be liable to you for any damage caused arising directly or indirectly as a result of any of the Excepted Risks.
7.15 If at any time we are prevented or delayed from starting, carrying out or completing any of the Services for circumstances which are outside of our reasonable control, including a strike, lock-out, labour dispute, weather conditions, traffic congestion, mechanical breakdown or obstruction of any public or private road or highway, you shall have no claim for damages against us for any loss that you may suffer to the extent arising of such circumstances. Where the delay is caused by the mechanical breakdown of one of our vehicles, we shall use all commercially reasonable endeavours to provide a replacement vehicle with the minimum delay practicable. We will, in any event, inform you of any delay which may materially affect the provision of the Service.
7.16 We shall not be liable for any late delivery or missed delivery or failure to deliver to the extent caused by or contributed to by any deficient or ambiguous labelling that you add to a Consignment and you agree to be responsible for ensuring that such labelling is clear and unambiguous.
Packaging, Labelling and Receipt of goods
7.17 You must properly and sufficiently pack and label all goods for the intended Service and destination. Failure to do so is an Excepted Risk and could affect any liability for damage, as per clause 7.14.
7.18 You must pack the goods so that the Consignment or the contents of the Consignment or any other goods which are transported by us will not be lost or damaged whilst being transported, and will not cause injury or damage to any person, any property or other goods.
7.19 If the Consignment has been pre-packed, for example new goods in a display box, the requirement to properly pack the goods, as set out in clauses 7.17 and 7.18, must include packing the Consignment so that the packaging will not be damaged whilst being transported.
7.20 You must ensure that the labelling has the full details of the recipient and sender of the Consignment, including phone number, email, address and postcodes.
Your Default
7.21 To the extent that our performance of any of our obligations under this Agreement is prevented or delayed by any act or omission by you or failure by you to perform any relevant obligation (“Your Default”):
(a) we shall (without limiting our other rights or remedies and after having informed you) have the right to suspend performance of the Service until you remedy Your Default and, and we shall have the right to rely on Your Default to the extent that Your Default prevents or delays our performance of any of our obligations; and
(b) we shall not be liable for any costs or losses that you may suffer due to Your Default.
8. International Carriage
8.1 If the carriage of any Consignment occurs by air travel and involves stopping in a country other than the country of departure, then the Montreal Convention, as amended from time to time, shall be generally applicable to such part of the carriage as occurs by air and, in particular, our maximum liability in respect of loss of or damage to any such Consignment during air travel shall be limited to the amount set out in the Montreal Convention. For the purposes of this clause 8.1, “Montreal Convention” means the Montreal Convention of 28 May 1999 for the Unification of Certain Rules for International Carriage by Air.
8.2 If the carriage of any Consignment occurs by road, and when the place of departure of the Consignment and the place of delivery are located in different countries, then the CMR Convention, as amended from time to time, shall be generally applicable to such part of the carriage as occurs by road and, our liability for loss, damage or delay shall be governed and limited in accordance with the CMR Convention's provisions. For the purposes of this clause 8.2, “CMR Convention” means the Convention on the Contract for the International Carriage of Goods by Road signed in Geneva on 19 May 1956, as amended from time to time.
8.3 Except for cases of our wilful misconduct (dolo) or gross negligence (colpa grave), we shall not be responsible for any customs charges, import taxes, duties, return to sender charges or anything similar which are incurred through our carriage and/or delivery of any Consignment and you must satisfy yourself as to whether any of these charges will become due, and if so in what amounts, before completing a Service Order with us. If any such charges become due as a result of our carriage and/or delivery of a Consignment on your behalf and are charged to us by any competent authority, you agree to reimburse us fully in respect of the same within 7 days of our demand.
9. Claims and Refunds
9.1 You must notify us either via the Website or by written notice to Parcel2Go.com Limited, 1a Parklands, Lostock, Bolton, England, BL6 4SD, United Kingdom within:
(a) 30 days of delivery of the Consignment, or of the date on which you became aware, or could reasonably have become aware, of the loss or damage, in the case of damage to all or part of a Consignment or loss of part of a Consignment. The claim must be supported by a clear photograph of the damage and a written statement from the shopper/recipient; or
(b) 30 days from the date the Consignment was cleared by customs, in the case of loss of the whole Consignment where no delivery event has occurred. The claim must be supported by a written statement from you, as the sender, or the intended recipient of the Consignment.
9.2 Any claim relating to loss or damage of a Consignment should be submitted as soon as reasonably possible, pursuant to this clause 9.2, and in any case within three (3) months from the date of shipment. After this period, we may not be able to investigate or process the claim effectively, unless otherwise required by applicable law. This clause does not affect your statutory rights as a consumer under Italian Consumer Laws.
Requesting a Refund
9.3 To the extent permitted by applicable law (and without limiting clause 7.1):
(a) if the Service has not been performed or has been performed only in part, you are entitled to a refund or a proportionate reduction of the price paid, as appropriate;
(b) refunds shall be made back to the payment method originally used to book the transaction within 14 days from acceptance of the claim;
(c) refunds may be requested by the relevant party who booked the Service Order; and
(d) we will not provide any refund or reduction of charges if we receive less than the number of parcels for which you have contracted.
10. Your Indemnity
10.1 We shall assume, for the purposes of this Agreement, without limiting or affecting your rights under Italian Consumer Laws if you are a consumer, that you are the sole owner of every item dispatched in the Consignment.
10.2 You agree to indemnify us against any losses or liabilities that we may suffer through the loss of, or inability to deliver, a Consignment caused by:
(a) deficient or ambiguous labelling of such Consignment by you; or
(b) incomplete, incorrect, untrue or fraudulent customs declaration and/or ancillary documentation, including for under-estimation of the value the Consignment, false or erroneous declaration on the nature or origin (country of manufacture) of the goods included in any Consignment.
11. Payment
11.1 You shall pay all charges (including taxes, duties and tariffs) applicable in respect of the Service provided by us in accordance with the payment terms set out in the Service Order. All prices and applicable costs shall be clearly displayed in the Service Order, in compliance with applicable Italian Consumer Laws to the extent they can be calculated in advance. You may be liable for the payment of tax, duties, customs fees, fines and costs as applicable in the importation country.
11.2 We charge for the Service based on the dimensions and weight of each Consignment. We may check the dimensions and/or weight of each Consignment. In the event we find that the dimensions and/or weight of a Consignment have been under-declared by you, you agree:
(a) that the dimensions and/or weight that we reasonably determine may be used for the purpose of the calculation of our charges;
(b) we shall inform you of any price difference, including any administration fees, to be calculated in accordance with our current rates and, subject to your acceptance, we may charge any price difference to you for correcting such underpayment/additional charge (together, “Correction Charges”);
(c) that, after having informed you, we may suspend performance if the Consignment is Out of Gauge;
(d) if you accept the Correction Changes, you authorise us to debit the Correction Charges directly from the debit/credit card, or PayPal account that you used to make the original payment. If the Correction Charges (whether whole or part) cannot be paid by this means, the balance is due within 7 days of the relevant charges being issued to you;
(e) if you fail to pay the balance of the payment due within 7 days, we may charge you a default interest rate calculated at the statutory interest rate applicable under Italian law and, in any event, without affecting your rights under the Italian Consumer Laws if applicable; and
(f) we may suspend performance of the Service until the Correction Charges are received by us. Subject to clause 7 and 8, if we exercise this right, we shall not be liable to you in any circumstances for any costs or losses arising directly or indirectly that you may suffer as a result.
11.3 If you do not agree with any Correction Charges, we offer a surcharge dispute process, to dispute any charges created, you must provide the necessary proof which constitutes a photograph of the package, with a visually clear tape measure showing the dimensions and the original clearly identifiable label on the package. All information regarding surcharges can be found on the Website at: https://send.asendia.com/it-en/help-centre/general/dispute-surcharge. This clause does not limit your statutory rights to contest any charge under applicable Italian Consumer Laws, as applicable.
11.4 Surcharge disputes must be made within 28 days from the date the surcharge was received by you.

2. Shipments to USA destination
Further to the huge increase of US Customs tariffs since April 2025 and the suspension of the duty-free de minimis threshold of USD 800, we offer our customers an international postal shipment solution for USA destination. This solution is available for shipment of consignments with an aggregate value not exceeding USD 800, for USA destination, excluding USA territories and possessions. This service includes the pre-calculation of the US duties/tariffs and their payment to US Customs Border Protection (“CBP”) by our accredited “Qualified Party” service provider on your behalf. This service does not include the payment of taxes. You will be solely responsible for the payment of the local sales tax in each relevant US state if applicable, unless a consumer is paying the local use tax.
The Service does not include any obligation of duty drawback.
This Service is provided “as is” and we (“we” includes Parcel2Go, Asendia and its sub-contractors/service providers) will not be responsible for any errors, omissions or misleading information used in the pre-calculation of the duties. Only the duties amount calculated by CBP will be final and all related costs, including penalties, fines, exchange rate loss and other fees shall be charged to you who will bear all the costs and risks related to the importation of the goods in the USA. We will not be liable for the seizure, return or destruction of the goods sent to the USA by CBP and all related costs and penalties borne by us or by one of our sub-contractors shall be invoiced to you and you commit to proceed to such payment without delay.
Our liability for the specific services of duties calculation and payment is limited to the value charged for such service (excluding tax and duties) and the same exclusion of liability applicable to our logistics services under these Terms. Under no circumstances shall we be responsible for any indirect, or consequential damages such as loss of profit, loss of revenue, loss of opportunity, loss of goodwill or damage to the reputation, loss of production
We reserve the right to withdraw or amend this offer based on postal solution at discretion, at any time with short notice or without notice if CBP or an Executive Order of the President of the USA publish new rules for postal shipments not exceeding $800 or if USPS stops providing the postal service on which this solution is based.
US tariffs and rates for postal shipments with a value not exceeding USD 800:
For consignments (containing goods manufactured in the European Union) sent as postal shipments, only a duty rate IEEPA /Reciprocal tariff is applicable (at the date of release of this document) as applicable to their country of origin (country of manufacture).
The duties amount must be calculated based on the goods transaction value (e.g. “ad valorem value”):
Example: for goods with a value of $100 with European Union origin (manufactured within the EU) imported in the USA via international postal shipment, the duty shall be equal to:
$100 x 15% =$15 (duty rate equal to IEEPA / reciprocal tariff on EU products at the date of release of this document).
In case of goods of multiple origin in the same Consignment (for postal shipments), the duties applicable to the country of origin of the Goods with the highest duty rate shall apply.
Exceptions:
Documents (only) still benefit from a duty exemption.
Books are subject to duties but still benefit from duty-free de minimis exemption if their value does not exceed $800.
Gifts: only gifts from a natural person to another natural person with a value not exceeding USD 100 are duty-free. Please note that the shipment of such goods cannot be declared as a gift if the goods are subject to a sale between those persons. In this case, the US duties must be paid. The non-declaration of the transaction and the non-payments of the duties would expose you and the recipient to sanctions.
Duties calculation:
The duties shall be calculated by our service provider that is accredited by US Customs Border Protection authority as “Qualified Party” for the calculation of the duties and their payment.
This service forms part of our service for US destination and may not be ordered separately.
The duties must be paid in advance to the US Customs and Border Protection authority.
Our service provider will make the duties calculation based on the information you will provide as described below (goods/product(s) value).
