Duties and Taxes

Every Tails Avenue order is shipped with import duties and taxes already paid. The courier will never ask you for money at the door, and there are no customs or clearance fees on delivery. The total you see at checkout is all you pay.

How it works

When your order ships, we declare it to customs in your country and pay the import duty and local sales tax on your behalf. Your parcel clears customs without you doing anything. If a courier ever asks you for a payment, please don't pay it. Contact us and we'll sort it out with the carrier.
