U.S. Tax & Duties Policy
How U.S. sales tax, customs duties and import charges may apply to orders shipped from the Netherlands.
Last updated: September 2026
We are a Netherlands-based e-commerce business shipping products to customers in the United States. This policy explains how U.S. sales tax, customs duties, import taxes, and related charges may apply to your order.
1. Sales Tax
Sales tax is determined based on your delivery address and the applicable laws of the U.S. state and, where applicable, local jurisdiction where your order is received.
Where we are legally required to collect and remit U.S. sales tax, the applicable tax will be calculated and added to your order at checkout.
Where we are not required to collect U.S. sales tax, no U.S. sales tax will be charged by us at checkout. However, you may have use-tax or other tax obligations under applicable state or local law.
Our sales-tax collection obligations may change as our business activity in individual U.S. states changes or as applicable laws and regulations are updated. We review our tax obligations regularly.
2. Customs Duties, Import Taxes & Carrier Charges
Orders shipped from the Netherlands to the United States may be subject to U.S. customs duties, import taxes, customs processing fees, brokerage fees, or other charges imposed by U.S. authorities or the shipping carrier.
An order or product priced below US$150 is not automatically exempt from customs duties, import taxes, or other applicable charges.
The amount and applicability of these charges depend on factors including the product, classification, country of origin, declared value, shipping method, and applicable U.S. customs requirements.
Customs duties and import-related charges are separate from any U.S. sales tax collected at checkout.
Unless we expressly state otherwise at checkout, applicable customs duties, import taxes, brokerage fees, and carrier processing charges are the customer's responsibility.
Where applicable, these charges may be collected by the shipping carrier before or at the time of delivery.

Customers are responsible for providing accurate and complete billing and shipping information.

Customers are also responsible for any applicable customs or import requirements associated with receiving an international shipment.
5. Policy Updates
We may update this Tax & Duties Policy when applicable U.S. federal, state, or local tax laws, customs requirements, or our business operations change.
Any material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above.
