Will I have to pay for duties for international/US shipments?
Any duties, if incurred, are the responsibility of the buyer. Encircled does not pay duties for customers, nor can we provide estimates on duties. In general, for US shipments, our products are typically exempt from duties as they are made in Canada, however there are exceptions that occur depending on the customs processing officer. For other countries, typically duties will be levied. Generally to the US, orders under $800 are exempt from duties.
Encircled does accurately mark the package with appropriate documentation to help expedite the customs process.
