MWS ships on a Delivery Duties Paid (DDP) basis to make international delivery smoother and more transparent.
What is DDP?
DDP stands for Delivered Duty Paid. With DDP, all import duties, customs fees and local taxes are included in your total at checkout. You won’t need to pay any extra custom fee or import tax when your order arrives.
Is DDP available in my country?
DDP is available in selected countries. You’ll see whether DDP applies to your order at checkout before completing your purchase.
How are duties and taxes calculated?
Duties and taxes are calculated based on your delivery country but also the shipping country, the value of the item and local import regulations. The final amount is clearly shown at checkout.
Does this make shipping more expensive?
No, the shipping fee remains the same. Your total may be higher than before, as duties and taxes are now included upfront. However, this means no surprise charges later and a smoother delivery experience. Will delivery be faster? In many cases, yes. As customs charges are prepaid, parcels are less likely to be held while awaiting payment.
