Shipping outdoor furniture internationally means understanding what the quoted rate covers and what additional costs arrive at your door. International shipping charges from LOOMLAN Outdoor cover freight to your destination country but do not include duties, taxes, or tariffs -- those fees are assessed when the shipment reaches your country's customs and remain the recipient's responsibility. This policy is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with transparent information so you can plan your purchase.

What Fees Are Assessed at the Point of Entry?

When your outdoor furniture crosses into your destination country, customs authorities assess duties, taxes, and tariffs based on the declared value, product category, and your country's import regulations. You pay these charges directly to the carrier or customs agent before delivery is released. They vary widely by country and are outside the shipper's control, so LOOMLAN Outdoor cannot estimate them in advance or include them in the shipping quote.

Why Can't Duties and Tariffs Be Estimated Ahead of Time?

Import fees depend on your country's specific tariff codes, current trade agreements, and the product's declared value. A teak dining set might face one rate, while aluminum lounge chairs face another. Some countries charge a flat percentage; others tier by material or origin. Because these rules change and differ for every destination, providing an accurate estimate before customs clears the shipment isn't possible. Your country's customs website or a local broker can give you typical rates for furniture imports.

How Should You Prepare for International Delivery?

Before ordering from our outdoor dining furniture or outdoor lounge furniture collections, check your country's customs agency website for typical duty rates on furniture and home goods. Contact the carrier once your shipment is in transit to confirm what payment methods they accept for duties and taxes. Keep your invoice and tracking information ready -- customs may request them before releasing your order. Most carriers collect fees at delivery, but some require advance payment or clearance through a broker.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who pays duties and tariffs on international orders?

The recipient pays all duties, taxes, and tariffs assessed at the point of entry. These fees are separate from the shipping cost.

Can you include duties and taxes in my shipping quote?

No, because duty and tax rates vary by country and are assessed by your customs authority when the shipment arrives, we cannot include them in the shipping estimate.

When will I be charged for duties and tariffs?

The carrier or customs broker will contact you for payment when your shipment reaches your country's customs checkpoint, before final delivery.

How do I find out what my country charges for furniture imports?

Check your country's customs or revenue agency website for tariff schedules on furniture and home goods, or contact a local customs broker.

Will the shipping cost cover delivery to my address?

The shipping charge covers freight to your destination country. Duties, taxes, and any local delivery fees assessed by the carrier after customs clearance are additional.

What if I refuse to pay the duties when the shipment arrives?

If duties and taxes are not paid, customs will refuse to release the shipment and it may be returned or held, with additional storage or return fees assessed.
