How much should I expect to pay for duties and/or taxes?

Last updated on 02 Apr, 2026

Sherpr cannot fully determine the duties and taxes to be expected for your shipment, if this is applicable.

Whilst we find that customs charges for personal effects are generally not duty relevant, this can change depending on the delivery country in conjunction with the reason for shipping, the contents and their value. 

If you are shipping a large order, the Customs authority of the country you are shipping to may consider the total weight of your shipment in calculating the duties and/or taxes on your order. These charges are not categorized as overweight charges, but as customs related charges.

In the event that any applicable duties and taxes aren't paid can result in the the return or disposal of your items and still the duties may be applicable.  If you wish to dispute any charges applied, our team recommends this be done after your shipment has been delivered.
