1. Why are taxes and fees generated?

In international express delivery, taxes and fees are usually the result of a combination of factors such as the value and type of goods and the import policy of the destination country, and are generally due to the following two points:

1) Spot checked by customs

2) The total value of the package exceeds the tax point of the destination country

2. How to determine whether your express delivery is taxed?

1) Generally speaking, if the package is taxed, you will receive a text message/phone reminder from the express company

2) Track and query the package logistics information through the logistics company's official website/third-party logistics query website

3) Call 11183 for inquiries

3. How to deal with the tax?

1) Pay taxes by yourself: If it is convenient, you can choose to go to the designated tax payment location or online platform to pay taxes by yourself.

2) Entrust a courier company to pay on your behalf: Some courier companies provide tax payment services. You can contact the courier company to learn about the specific process and fees of the payment.

3) Consult the customs or professional institutions: If you have any questions about the tax payment process or tax calculation, you can directly contact the customs or consult a professional customs declaration agency.

4. How to avoid being taxed?

1) Understand the import policy of the destination country

Different countries have different import policies, and there are certain restrictions on the types and quantities of goods. Before sending express delivery, it is best to understand the import policy of the destination country to avoid being taxed due to violations.

2) Reasonably declare the value of goods

Customs clearance principle: Taxes are collected according to the value of the goods and the tax number.

Therefore, when filling out the express delivery form, be sure to accurately and reasonably declare the value of the goods, and do not over- or under-estimate!

3) Choose the right mode of transport

Different modes of transport will have different taxes and fees. Generally speaking, air transport will have higher taxes and fees, while sea transport will have lower taxes and fees.

4) Take advantage of the tax-free quota

Many countries have a tax-free quota policy, which means that goods below a certain amount can enter the country tax-free. When sending express delivery, the value of the goods can be controlled within the tax-free quota.

5) Choose a reliable shipping company

It is also important to choose a shipping company with strong customs clearance capabilities, high service quality, and multiple channels.
