International Shipping
What international shipping solutions are available?
International shipping allows you to ship to most countries outside of the United States. The different shipping methods are DDU (Delivered Duties Unpaid) and DDP (Delivered Duties Paid). Usually it is recommended for low value shipments ($25 and under) to do DDU while DDP should be utilized for higher value shipments (over $25). DDP offers a seamless customer buying experience since the buyer will pay for shipping and any duty and taxes upon checkout.
What should you consider before shipping internationally?
Check each destination country's import rules before you sell there. Some countries restrict certain goods, set their own duty and tax thresholds or require specific labeling. Transit times and carrier options also vary by country. Compare the delivered cost for each market, including duties and taxes, so shipping charges don't surprise your customers at checkout.
