Customs and Taxation

What are the risks associated with customs?

1. Risk Related

When you place an order for products on BuyByBW, the system will generate a risk alert for your items during the order and verification process.

Once the goods are shipped to our warehouse, our company will suggest a low-risk shipping route based on the product characteristics and previous transportation experience.

Please note: Some goods may come with inherent customs risks (such as a possibility of returned packages, fines, taxes, etc.) and the recipient will be responsible for these risks. Thank you for your understanding.

2. Declaration Related

When purchasing products on BuyByBW, please refer to the Tariff Threshold Reference and transportation history for reasonable declaration.

You can choose between Personalized Declaration or System Declaration when submitting your parcel.

Please be aware: The likelihood of tariffs being imposed is subject to customs inspection frequency and may be impacted by customs policies.
