When ordering motorcycle parts from Nibbi Racing for delivery outside of United States, your purchase may be subject to import duties and taxes applied by your country's customs laws. This policy aims to clarify these obligations and ensure a transparent shopping experience.
1. Understanding Customs, Duties, and Taxes
- Customs Duty: A tax imposed on imports and exports of goods. The rate can vary depending on the destination country and the type of goods being shipped.
- Import Taxes: Taxes imposed by the importing country on the value of goods. These taxes are in addition to customs duties and are based on the total purchase price and shipping cost.
- VAT/GST: Many countries apply a Value Added Tax (VAT) or Goods and Services Tax (GST) on imported goods, which is calculated as a percentage of the total value of the goods including shipping.
2. Responsibility for Customs and Taxes
The recipient of the shipment is considered the importer of record and must comply with all laws and regulations of the destination country. As such, customs duties, import taxes, VAT/GST, and any other local charges are the responsibility of the recipient. Nibbi Racing does not collect these charges at the time of purchase, and we cannot predict what your particular charges may be.
3. Calculation of Charges
The calculation of customs duties and taxes depends on the specific laws of the destination country. We recommend contacting your local customs office for detailed information as these fees can vary widely from country to country.
4. Payment of Customs Fees
Customs fees are typically collected by the shipping carrier on behalf of your country's customs authority. You might be required to pay these fees upon delivery of your order. In some cases, the carrier may invoice you after delivery.
5. Refusal of Shipment
If a shipment is refused because of unexpected import fees, the cost of the return shipping to Nibbi Racing will be deducted from your refund. Additionally, original shipping fees, customs duties, and handling fees will not be refunded.
6. Documentation
For international shipments, Nibbi Racing will provide all necessary customs documentation required for the export of products. However, the recipient may need to provide additional information or documentation to customs authorities for importation.
7. Shipping Restrictions
Certain products may have shipping restrictions when shipped internationally due to local customs regulations. Nibbi Racing will make every effort to communicate any known restrictions during the checkout process.
