Duties & Taxes

 

Any duties &/or taxes charged by your country's customs department are the responsibility of the customer.  If tax/VAT are charged in physical stores of your home country, then you will likely have to pay tax/VAT for your online purchases when they arrive to your country - before delivery.  This is beyond our control and varies globally.  

Canada: Sales tax is charged automatically at checkout, no further fees will be incurred

Australia: No duties should be incurred on order values under $1000 AUD. 

USA: 

 New Customs Clearance Requirements

 All Made-in-China products now require formal entry into the U.S.

 This means additional paperwork, customs declarations, and longer processing times at the border.

2. Duties and Tariffs Now Apply

 Previously, small shipments under $800 USD could enter the U.S. duty-free under Section 321.

 Now, affected shipments will be subject to 10-30% import duties and tariffs, depending on product category.

3. Potential Shipping Delays

 Increased customs processing may lead to longer transit times for Made-in-China products.

 We recommend planning ahead for possible disruptions and extended clearance times.

Many of our products are made in China by our wonderful production partners, despite being shipped from our studio in Montreal, and therefore may be subjected to tariffs upon delivery. The charges will be enforced by the delivery company once your order lands in the USA.   Please keep an eye on your government websites to stay up-to-date on the current tariff situation. 

All other countries: Please check with your government website regarding tax/vat/duties for online purchases. 

*Any items returned to Suniela Beach due to nonpayment of duties/tariffs and/or taxes/VAT will not be entitled to a refund.
