How are duties and taxes calculated for international orders?

Duties (or Customs tariffs) are set by the destination country Customs authorities and determined based on a combination of the country of origin (manufacturing) of the goods being purchased and the classification of that merchandise in accordance with a harmonized system adopted and used by each country individually.   International taxes (such as Value Added Tax, or VAT) are set by the destination country.   You will be able to view the total amount of applicable duty and tax/VAT for your order within the checkout process.
