For international orders, please be aware that customs duties, taxes, and import fees may be charged by the destination country. These fees are the responsibility of the customer and are not included in the product or shipping costs.
We are not responsible for any delays or additional fees incurred due to customs procedures in your country. Please check with your local customs office for more information.
