All international packages may be subject to taxes and duties. We are legally required to claim the full retail value price of products purchased and our shipping system automatically enters this information into the customs documents it creates. Please note that if you used a discount on your order, your customs office assesses taxes based on the original retail price. MBM Swim is not held responsible nor can refund/reimburse for any taxes or duties charged by the customer’s local government. Any fees of this nature are the sole responsibility of the purchaser. We are unable to offer a refund for taxes/duties.
