International Postage Costs

International postage costs are based on a combination of the following:

  • Weight and dimensions of package

  • Method of transport such as Economy Air, Sea Mail, etc

  • The location you're posting from (city, state, country)

Therefore, costs may vary greatly depending on what, where and how you are posting. Costs can be considerably higher for international destinations.

Generally, buyers pay additional costs that may apply such as duties, taxes, and customs clearance fees. For example, international rates may or may not include pickup and door-to-door delivery with customs clearance. Your package will arrive at your door, but you might need to pay extra international fees.

Some carriers will offer customs and brokerage services to help you learn more about additional charges, duties, and taxes. An "extended area surcharge" may apply to buyers depending on their international locations.

Please note: This postage information is provided to you for general information purposes and may not be applicable or accurate for postal processed with some carriers or for goods posted across certain international borders. Please check with your carrier for any special rules that govern your postal of goods. For international posts, please also check with countries whose borders your postage may cross for any additional rules, regulations, duties, or taxes that apply.
