    • 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.  This system is a multipurpose international product nomenclature developed by the World Customs Organization and continues to evolve.

      • 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.
      • Dutiable shipments are subject to a customs duty, which is a tariff or tax imposed on goods when transported across international borders.
      • To complete your delivery please pay required import duties and taxes with OnDemand Delivery.

    • Here are some important principles applicable for packing your shipment contents:

      • Leave No Empty Space It is important to completely fill empty space within the box to avoid contents moving during transit which can cause damage to both contents and the box.
      • 6 cm Distance Always place items being shipped in the center of the box with at least 6cm of separation from any external walls or corners.
      • Wrap items Individually and Use Dividers When shipping multiple items in a single package, always wrap each item individually and separate with corrugated inserts or other divider materials as appropriate.

      Both the adhesive tapes you choose and how you seal the shipment together makes a difference in protecting your shipment contents from being exposed or damaged during transit.

      Use Pressure Sensitive Tape

      • Polypropylene tape (brown plastic tape)
      • Vinyl adhesive tape (electrical tape)
      • Fiber-reinforced paper tape (duct tape)

       

      Avoid Using

      • Kraft Paper Tape
      • Cellophane Tape
      • String

       

      Label Shipment

      Fix the shipment label securely on the top surface of the shipment box.
