The short answer is NO! You will not be charged customs fees.

The US customs authorities now charge a 15% customs fee on all imported shipments from the EU.

As we are a gift company and send large volumes to the US, we would not want anyone receiving a Paddy Box to have to pay customs on it on arrival in the US. So, all our shipments to the US are Duty Pre-Paid so the purchaser and receiver will not need to worry about any fees on arrival.

The vast majority of countries do not charge duties on shipments, but some countries may charge customs duties and taxes on arrival into the country. These costs can vary greatly and neither The Paddy Box or our delivery partners have any control over this process. It is completely at the discretion of the respective customs authority.

Please find a list of countries below that are likely to charge customs fees.
