How do I know if my country will apply customs duty to my order?
Each country has its own customs laws and the duties for different types of goods. We recommend that you visit your own country’s customs department’s website and check customs rates for wedding cards. Wedding cards are classified under the HSN Code 4909 (HSN Codes are Harmonized System of Nomenclature Codes, which are used to categorise different products).

Why is customs duty not included in shipping charges?
Courier companies, even such as FEDEX and DHL, do not know the exact customs duty beforehand. This duty is applied by local governments on a case to case basis when the goods are being imported. As soon as they get to know, they reach out to the recipient for payment.

If customs duty is applied on my order, how will I pay them?
While your order is in transit, the courier company we use for your order (such as FEDEX or DHL) will automatically reach out to you for the payment of customs duty, if applicable. They typically send a payment link via SMS or Email and the order is delivered after the payment has been successfully made by you.
