Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or the shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your local customs authority to determine these additional costs prior to bidding or buying. These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up — please do not confuse them for additional shipping charges. U.S. merchants are unable to mark merchandise values below actual purchase price or mark international parcels as "gifts" — U.S. and international government regulations prohibit such practices.
