International Shipping (Outside EU):
18 April 2025
Import taxes Import duty is payable on goods shipping to the US from Europe. The duty IMPORT TAX is determined by the type of goods (HTS code) and normally varies between 2% and 3% of the price of the goods, except for avalanche backpacks containing an airbag which attract about 7.5%. The transporter (UPS or DHL) pays this duty on your behalf when the package passes US Customs, and UPS/DHL then sends you an online invoice for the duty plus a handling fee (currently around 14 USD). Although the invoice will come from UPS/DHL, it is nothing to do with shipping costs - it is the import duty the shipping company has paid for you, plus their handling fee. All you pay to us is the net price plus the shipping costs. We are not in a position to refund or recover import duty that you have paid to UPS/DHL. The following rates apply to ski equipment imported from the European Community:
Since April 2025, US Customs charge a tariff of 10% on orders between $800 and $2500. No tariffs are applied on orders below $800. Should your order be worth more than $800 and you want avoid paying the 10% tariff please make two separate orders, each with a value less than 800 USD. Please contact us should you have any questions about how to place your order, we are here to help: our prices remain competitive and we are fully committed to our US customers. Please note that most of the shipping companies will not ship B2C orders of value above $2500 because the paperwork for orders above $2500 is very complicated.
We ship every day to the US and have had many repeat orders from our US customers. So far, the import charges have not been a problem.
Sales tax Our prices exclude tarifs, USA sales and import tax. Customers are responsible for checking and paying any applicable taxes and charges required by their country before placing an order.
