Pls help me friends.... (regarding customs & duty clearance)

[globaltraderzindia]

For example, SPEED POST charge around 700rs for 1/2 kg parcel to USA.. so if i use SPEED POST as a shipping to USA, then that 700RS charge is for INCLUDING customs/duty clearance or EXCLUDING custom/duty clearance? ie., will my buyer have to pay any extra cost for customs while receiving? Kindly help me friends.... am very new to international selling..

Please provide your shipping cost here in community.

yes your buyer has to pay the custom duty in his/her country.
Also the 700rs is the amount India posts charge for its service and no other duty is included in it, every other amount is seperate.

As said above, the importer is responsible for any import duty and any additional charges imposed by the importing country (unless you agree otherwise in advance -unlikely in a one-off personal sale). To avoid misunderstandings, it is always best to put a warning notice on your international auctions such as:

"Any Import duty and any other related taxes are to be paid by the buyer".

The US has quite a high import duty allowance threshold of $US 200. You, and others reading this, might find these links helpful:
