Taxation

The taxation for a particular country depends on the local GST/VAT, as well as the item category and its declared value.
The tax & duty threshold is the amount at which a person begins paying taxes based on the declared value of an item.>

 

CIF: import duty and taxes are calculated based on the sum of the customs value, shipping cost and insurance.
FOB: import duty and taxes are calculated only on the customs value of the imported goods.
