Duties are fees imposed by customs on imported merchandise. The applicable charges will be based on the value and/or gross weight and may differ according to the items being sent and destination country or territory. Depending on the situation, the receiver and sometimes, the shipper, will be responsible for paying the duties and fees. Fees are implemented by the customs broker or agent upon entering the destination country.
