orders that are shipped to countries outside of the U.S. may be subject to import taxes, customs duties and fees levied by the destination country (import fees).  The recipient of an international shipment may be subject to such import fees, which are levied once a shipment reaches your country.  Additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by you; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be.  Customs policies vary widely from country to country; you should contact your local customs office for further information.  When customs clearance procedures are required, it can cause delays beyond our original delivery estimates.
