Customs does not have to be confusing

For international shipments, customs may review the package and decide whether duties, taxes, or import fees apply. Label Shark helps collect the shipment details carriers need, including item description, value, quantity, and country of origin when required.

By default, the receiver pays any import duties or taxes if the destination country charges them.

The sender pays for the shipping label. Duties, taxes, brokerage, or import fees are separate government/carrier charges and are usually collected from the receiver by the carrier before delivery.

DHL Express customs and receiver payment

DHL Express commonly helps clear international shipments through customs. If import duties or taxes apply, the receiver is often responsible and DHL may contact the receiver to arrange payment before delivery. Some shipments can use DDP where the sender prepays duties and taxes, but Label Shark's normal flow is receiver-paid duties/taxes when applicable.
