Duties and Taxes on International Shipments

When you place an international order at www.hbjus.com or with an in-house sales rep, you authorize our shipping carrier (UPS) customs broker to act as your agent with Customs and Revenue (depending on country) to clear merchandise and process all duties and taxes.

Shipping outside the U.S.A: Your order may be subject to VAT, import duties and taxes, which are levied once your package reaches your country. Hollywood Body Jewelry ships your package DDU, "duties and taxes unpaid", and does not collect the VAT, duties and/or taxes and cannot predict what your particular charges may be. If you do incur these additional charges, they must be rendered in order for your package to clear customs. For more information regarding your country's custom policies, please contact your local customs office.

Canadian Customers:
Duties are determined as a percentage of the total amount of goods purchased. Goods and Services Tax (GST) Provincial Sales Tax (PST), and Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) are a percentage of the subtotal of the value of the merchandise purchased and the duties on that merchandise as required by law. The GST, PST, and/or HST rate is determined by the province to which the merchandise is shipped. All duties and taxes collected are forwarded to the proper Canadian authorities.
