What about customs, duties, or import taxes?

Last updated on Sep 25, 2025

We want to make shopping with Neat as simple and transparent as possible—no surprise charges when your package arrives.


🌍 Duties & Taxes Collected Upfront

For international orders, any customs fees, import duties, or VAT (value-added tax) are:

  • Calculated automatically at checkout

  • Collected upfront as part of your order total

This means you won’t be hit with unexpected charges when your package reaches your country.


💳 Why We Do It This Way

  • No surprises: The price you see at checkout is the final cost.

  • Faster delivery: Pre-paid duties help your package clear customs more smoothly.

  • Simpler process: You don’t have to deal with separate bills from the carrier or customs office.


🚚 Delivery Times & Customs Clearance

While paying duties upfront helps, customs agencies in some countries may still take extra time to process packages. This is a normal part of international shipping and can add a few business days to delivery.


🧭 TL;DR

  • For international orders, duties, taxes, and VAT are collected at checkout

  • No surprise fees when your package arrives

  • Pre-payment helps ensure a smoother and faster delivery
