This is where they are checked by the government officials to make sure that the packages do not contain illegal substances and also assessed duties and taxes according to the value of the contents of the packages.

During Customs Clearence, our shipping partners, Fed-Ex, TNT or GLS pays for the duties and taxes on behalf of the person receiving the package. When they deliver the package, they will collect these fees from the receiver. If the value of the package is high and requires a substantial amount of duties and taxes, our partners may contact the receiver to secure the payment of the duties and taxes. Please make sure that, when sending a package, the receiver is aware of the payment of the duties and taxes and they are willing to pay it. If they need to know how much the duties will be, they can contact their Customs Offices in their country and find out. In a situation where the receiver refuses to pay the duties and the taxes, you will be responsible to pay them.

Dimensional Weight is a standard formula used in the air-freight industry and considers package density when calculating shipping charges. The calculation for dimensional weight considers the amount of space a package will take up on an aircraft in relation to the actual weight of the package.

Here's how to calculate dimensional weight of a package which is 10" Wide, 12" High and 20" Long.

Multiply the Length x Width x Height 10 x 12 x 20 = 2400 Divide this result (the "cubic size") by 139 2400/139 = 17.26 The result is the dimensional weight (in pounds)
