Import duties and taxes

Orders from Chess4Less ship from the United States. For deliveries outside the United States, checkout does not include import VAT, customs charges, or the carrier’s clearance fee. Those charges are set by the destination country and the carrier, and are collected on delivery. We cannot show the amount at checkout.

The shipping policy on this store says the same: customers are responsible for duties, taxes, and customs clearance fees on deliveries outside the United States.
