Do I Have to Pay for Customs and Import Taxes?
You may be charged customs duties and taxes for something you bought on AliExpress because:
- Duties and taxes are typically not included in the price of the item, and might not be included in the overall shipping costs you pay to the seller.
- When shopping on AliExpress, you are buying from overseas sellers. That’s why sometimes you will be asked to pay customs duty.
The taxes may depend on where your order was sent from, the type of items you bought, their value and the weight of the package. Different countries may have different tax policies regarding specific products. It’s always best to confirm this with the seller or your local customs authority.
You are responsible to clear VAT on all purchases made on AliExpress. This can be done through the VAT clearance procedure of your local customs authority in your country of residence.
