Even when goods cross political borders, taxes and duties are levied (although there are several free trade zones around the world). Tariffs are commonly associated with protectionism, an economic policy that restricts trade between countries.

Goods imported from abroad are subject to high taxes, but sometimes goods exported from the country are also subject to them.

Goods under customs restrictions:

There may be restrictions on the import or export of certain types of goods. These restrictions are subject to local laws and regulations. Customs authorities are required to strictly comply with these rules. In addition, local customs authorities have the right to set their own import and export charges depending on the nature of the cargo.

Although different destinations require different policies regarding domestic and international imports and exports, we recommend that you contact the appropriate customs office where you are looking for a courier to ship to.
