01 / INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING

Understanding Customs & Duties

What is DDU shipping?

NyNy Lash ships international orders using DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid) shipping terms.

This means that the amount you pay at checkout covers your purchased products and applicable shipping charges, but it does not include import duties, customs taxes, or other fees assessed when the shipment enters your country.

These charges are determined by customs authorities in the destination country and are the responsibility of the recipient.

Please note: Shipping fees paid at checkout are separate from customs duties and import taxes. Paying for shipping does not mean that customs fees have been paid.
What are customs duties and import taxes?

Customs duties and import taxes are charges that may be assessed by your country's government when goods are imported from another country.

Depending on your destination, these charges may include:

  • Customs Duties: Import charges calculated according to your country's customs rules.
  • Import Taxes: Taxes such as VAT, GST, or applicable sales taxes on imported goods.
  • Handling Fees: Administrative or customs clearance fees charged by the shipping carrier or customs broker.
  • Other Import Charges: Additional fees imposed by customs authorities or delivery services.

NyNy Lash does not set or control these charges.

How are customs fees calculated?

Customs charges are determined by the customs authorities of your destination country.

The total amount may depend on several factors:

  • The declared value of the products ordered.
  • The product type or classification.
  • The country of origin.
  • Applicable import duty and tax rates.
  • Your country's customs thresholds and exemptions.
  • Any carrier or customs processing fees.

Customs regulations and thresholds vary by country, so the amount charged to one customer may differ from another.

NyNy Lash cannot guarantee or predict the exact amount of customs duties or taxes that may be assessed on international orders.
02 / PAYMENT RESPONSIBILITIES

Paying Customs & Import Fees

Who is responsible for customs fees?

The international customer or package recipient is responsible for paying all applicable customs duties, import taxes, and additional import fees.

NyNy Lash does not cover or reimburse customs duties, taxes, clearance charges, or other fees imposed by customs authorities.

These expenses are separate from the product price and shipping charges collected at checkout.

By placing an international order, you acknowledge that additional import-related charges may apply.

When and how do I pay customs fees?

If customs duties or import taxes are assessed, your local shipping carrier, customs authority, or authorized customs broker may contact you with payment instructions.

Depending on the country, fees may need to be paid before customs releases the package or before final delivery.

01 Your order arrives in your destination country.
02 Customs reviews the shipment and may assess import fees.
03 Pay applicable charges so delivery can proceed.

Please follow the official instructions provided by your local customs authority or delivery service.

We recommend verifying any payment request directly with your shipping carrier or customs office before providing payment information.
Are customs fees included in shipping?

No. Customs fees and shipping charges are separate expenses.

Your shipping charge pays for transportation and the applicable shipping service.

Customs duties, import taxes, and clearance fees are assessed separately when required by the destination country.

Even if you have already paid for international shipping, additional import charges may still be required before delivery.

03 / INTERNATIONAL DELIVERIES

Customs Holds & Delays

Why is my package held at customs?

International shipments may be subject to customs review before being released for delivery.

Common reasons for customs holds include:

  • Unpaid customs duties or import taxes.
  • Routine customs inspections.
  • Missing or incomplete import information.
  • Country-specific import restrictions or requirements.
  • Additional verification requested by customs.

Customs inspections and clearance procedures are managed by the destination country's authorities.

NyNy Lash cannot guarantee when customs will release a package.

What should I do if customs delays my order?

If your package is delayed or held by customs, please contact your local customs office or shipping carrier directly for assistance.

They may be able to provide details about:

  • Required import payments.
  • Additional documentation.
  • Customs clearance status.
  • Expected next steps.
  • Delivery arrangements.

NyNy Lash is not responsible for delays caused by customs inspections, local import requirements, or unpaid customs fees.

Customs clearance time is separate from our order processing and estimated shipping transit times.
04 / UNCLAIMED PACKAGES

Refused & Returned Shipments

What happens if I do not pay customs fees?

If required customs duties, taxes, or other import charges are not paid, the shipment may be:

  • Delayed or held at customs.
  • Returned to the sender.
  • Considered unclaimed by the destination carrier.
  • Abandoned, confiscated, or disposed of according to local customs procedures.

The customer is responsible for paying required customs charges and following any applicable collection or payment deadlines.

NyNy Lash is not responsible for customs penalties, storage charges, or losses resulting from a customer's failure to pay applicable import fees or claim their shipment.

Important: Refusing to pay customs fees does not automatically qualify an order for a refund.
Can I receive a refund if my package is returned by customs?

If your package is physically returned to NyNy Lash by customs or the shipping carrier, any eligible refund will be reviewed after the package has been safely received and inspected.

Approved refunds exclude original shipping charges, non-refundable fees, and applicable deductions under our Return & Refund Policy.

An additional 15% restocking fee may apply to items returned damaged, opened, or used.

The refund amount and available refund method will be determined according to our applicable return policy and legal obligations.

Packages must actually be received by NyNy Lash before a return-related refund can be evaluated.

What if customs discards or confiscates my package?

Customers are responsible for complying with their country's applicable customs and import requirements.

If a shipment is abandoned, discarded, or destroyed by customs because required charges were not paid or the package was not claimed, NyNy Lash does not provide refunds or replacements under this policy, except where required by law.

If customs confiscates a shipment due to local import restrictions, the circumstances will be reviewed in accordance with our policies and applicable consumer law.

We strongly recommend reviewing your destination country's import requirements before ordering.
05 / SHIPPING CONCERNS

International Shipping Protection

What if my international package is lost or damaged?

For international shipping concerns, customers should contact their local carrier regarding lost, stolen, or damaged shipments.

If you purchased Route Shipping Protection at checkout, you may submit an eligible claim through Route instead.

All Route claims are subject to the provider's coverage terms and claim deadlines.

If Route protection was not purchased, the order is not covered under Route's protection service.

Route shipping protection does not automatically cover unpaid customs duties, import taxes, or customs-related holds. Review Route's applicable coverage rules.
