How to avoid custom fees?

Recommended Posts

I'm ordering a lot of clothes + diverse products on a website and it's over 300$, I have free express shipping thanks to the final cost of my purchase. So here's my question, have you ever got custom fees with EMS?

 

I heard that you (almost) always get custom fees if your package is shipped with DHL, have some of you experience this? because rip I really don't wanna pay 150$ or more of custom fees for my order ;-;

My EMS is always included in the final pricing of the stores I buy from

I don't think you can avoid them unless you pick sites that use carriers that don't have a fee. Like sometimes when I buy from dollskill I have to pay a customs fee (from the US to Canada) and sometimes I don't. Its all luck of draw.

Canada is very inconsistent with that tbh

Customs fees are pretty much inescapable where I live, you'll have to check with your local country laws on what qualifies or use a duty calculator https://www.dutycalculator.com/

 

Sometimes it does depend on luck though. For example 90% of the time when I buy from Japan I have to pay but I never have to pay when I buy from South Korea or China.

i agree.. i got charged 29 dollars in duties fees for a 14 usd product once (even tho they made a mistake and i had to write all these emails and claims and send invoices and mail letters to get 10 dollars back), i ordered again and i didn't get charged at all wtf
