Duties And Taxes

DUTIES & TAXES

It depends on the specific country that is receiving the shipped goods. Tax is a very complex issue, and varies from one country to another. Some countries are easy to import goods into, and have few restrictions and no taxes. Other countries are incredibly restrictive and have high import taxes. Before you start to import larger quantities of India goods to your country, you will need to research what the law and import practices are in your country (or for the specific destination countries that you are drop shipping into).

Import Duty and Sales Tax charged by your country

Depending on the specific country, some Customs offices charge tax on certain types of imported products at certain item quantities and declared values. Customs offices in other countries do not adopt this practice. You are responsible for finding out the situation in your own country.

Many countries charge two kinds of tax when you import from overseas: sales tax (VAT) and import duty. Generally, these two taxes are not very high and the payable amount of tax is based on the declared value of the goods (and occasionally the shipping). Conversely, many countries do not charge any tax on certain types of goods, or on shipments which are small enough.

Declared Value: Packet Value affects Tax

Usually, importing large quantities of goods from overseas is strictly controlled by your country's Customs, but smaller quantities can be imported more easily. The exact definition of “large quantity” and “small quantity”, often defined by a value “threshold”, varies from country to country.

The term “ad valorem” in import taxes means that the tax you have to pay is calculated as a percentage of the total value of the goods (and sometimes the shipping cost too). Obviously there would be an advantage to declare the value of the goods lower in such cases. This is known as “under-declaring” the goods and is not permitted, despite being a widespread practice. Any customization you request from us in regard to declaration value on the shipping paperwork is at your own risk.
