Dear Aarna, many US company's shipping rates include customs fees, tariffs, or taxes. The published shipping rates are for door-to-door delivery. I suggest you try Globalshopaholics, whose shipping rates don't include customs fees, tariffs, or taxes. You may also be liable for tax and import duty, which differs from country to country. Many countries have a duty-free policy where goods below a certain value can be imported without duty or tax. You can consult your country's local Customs Department for more information on duties or import fees.
