About Customs, Duties and Taxes

All international orders shipped may be subject to import taxes, customs duties and fees levied by the destination country. The recipient of an international shipment may be subject to such import taxes, customs duties and fees, which are levied once a shipment reaches the recipient's country. Additional charges for customs clearance must be fulfilled by the recipient; Qonooz has no control over these charges, nor can Qonooz predict what they may be.

How will my order be shipped?

Your order will be shipped with Qonooz Express, an independent & international transportation company. In certain cases, your shipment might be handed over to third-party agents.

DUTIES & TAXES

How are customs & duties calculated?

The calculation of duties depends, in most countries, on the assessable value of a dutiable shipment. For the purpose of this calculation, dutiable goods are given a classification code that is known as the Harmonized System code, which determines the applicable duty rate. All types of shipments (including gifts, samples and goods for repair) go through an import clearance process as determined by custom’s regulations in the destination country. The shipment is cleared through customs based on the type of goods, origin country, the value and quantity. This system is a multipurpose international product nomenclature developed by the World Customs Organization and continues to evolve.

Who is responsible for payment of duties and taxes?

Duties and taxes are levied by Customs in the destination country and the receiver is responsible for paying them. Qonooz Express will pay the charges on the receiver's behalf and collect payment from the receiver prior to or on delivery. Generally, Qonooz Express is unable to deliver parcels until these have been paid.

I was charged duties and taxes by customs for something purchased online. Why wasn’t that included as part of the overall shipping costs?

Although you ordered and purchased the goods online, the goods are still subject to an import procedure to clear the shipment through customs. Clearance depends on: The country of origin, the value including transport charges, & the quantity of goods. Each country has its own customs laws and the duties for different types of goods and values are set locally. Qonooz Express, like any other international transportation company, must adhere to local customs legislation and so Qonooz Express pays duties on the receiver’s behalf to clear shipments on arrival.

What additional charges can I expect following customs clearance?

Depending on value and the type of goods imported you may expect the following: Customs import duties (percentage of shipment value and transport charges), Import customs tax, Qonooz Express Advance Payment and other clearance surcharges, and any regulatory charges, if applicable.

Will I have to pay customs and duties on imported products?

Yes, it is possible that customs and duties may be levied on imported products. Customs and duties are charges imposed by the government of the importing country on goods entering its borders from another country. These charges are meant to protect domestic industries, regulate trade, and generate revenue for the government.
