You might have to deal with taxes while receiving packages imported from other country.
1. USA
Bigcartel automatically helps us calculate import tax at checkout (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧
Just in case... please keep the paypal bill/ Bigcartel bill as envident when the service asks for additional tax.
Since July 2021 UK/EU have started new tax rule – The IOSS and DDP – which you can read in detail here. The new rule applies tax for everything imported to UK/EU.
Bigcartel has not updated any feature helping us automatically charge this tax at checkout. That's why you will have to pay additional tax when you receive the package in UK/EU, which is about 5 – 10% total cost of the entire order.
3. Other Countries
Every countries has their own rule about this tax. If you need any help, please write in the customer note when placing the order. We will reach out and try our best to help!
**Packages which are returned to sender because of the 'unclaimed/decline to receive/decline to pay tax' reason won't get refund.
