Understanding import duties and taxes
A plain English guide to who pays duties and how Pigee helps estimate them.
Import duties and taxes can be confusing. This guide explains the basics and how Pigee helps you plan ahead.
Who pays
Duties and taxes are usually charged by the destination country and paid by the recipient, though some routes let the sender prepay.
How Pigee helps
Pigee estimates likely charges by commodity type and destination using the customs lookup, so both sender and recipient know what to expect.
