1. Delivered Duty Unpaid (DDU)
All international orders from Break Through are shipped on a DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid) basis. This means that the product prices and shipping charges indicated at checkout do NOT include any applicable customs duties, VAT (Value Added Tax), or other import taxes.
2. Customer Responsibility
Your package may be subject to customs fees and import taxes determined by your local customs office. These charges are collected directly from you by the courier or local postal service upon delivery. It is strictly your responsibility to complete the payment of these fees in order to receive your package.
Furthermore, your local postal service or courier may charge additional handling or administrative fees for processing the customs clearance.
3. Customs Declaration and Value
By law, we are required to declare the accurate commercial value of the items on the shipping label and customs documents to ensure smooth clearance. We strictly cannot and will not fulfill any requests to declare the items at a lower price or mark them as a "Gift" to avoid customs fees.
Regarding Points and Coupons:
If you use points or a discount coupon for your order, please note that customs officials determine duties based on the original retail value of the items, not the discounted total. Therefore, customs taxes will be calculated based on the actual verifiable price of the products.
4. Rejection of Packages
Because customs policies and import duties vary widely from country to country, we cannot predict or control these charges. We strongly advise you to check your local customs authority's website for specific tax rates before placing an order.
If you refuse to pay the customs fees upon delivery and the package is returned to us or destroyed by customs, Break Through will NOT issue any refunds for the products or the shipping costs.
