What Are Duties and Taxes?Updated a year ago

  • Duties: These are the taxes imposed by the customs authority of a country on goods coming from abroad. They are based on the product's value, freight, insurance, and other charges. Each country has different rules and rates for duties.

  • Taxes: These are the domestic taxes applied to products. The most common type is the Value Added Tax (VAT), but it may be referred to differently depending on your country (for example, GST in Australia and Canada).
