How much customs duty will I need to pay?
Most countries offer a generous allowance for used personal effects and therefore no duty or tax will be due in the majority of cases.
In some instances, certain destinations may not offer duty or tax free clearance in all circumstances, or additional fees for customs processing may be required, and we recommend visiting our destinations pages for further information.
Just as an airline cannot check your visa, we cannot check you have fully complied with the destination customs regulations. We therefore recommend every customer sending on a route with customs clearance, takes 5 minutes to check the regulations for their destination directly with the destination country's official travel advice line or customs office.
