**HOW DO I TRACK MY ORDER?**

**CUSTOMS FEES**
A customs duty is a tariff or tax on the importation of goods. Commercial goods not yet cleared through customs are held in a customs area until processed. All applicable customs fees, taxes, and duties are the sole responsibility of the customer.
Customs authorities require that we state the value of your order directly on the package. It is at the discretion of customs agents to release your package. In rare cases, customs agents may delay the delivery of some packages.
Please note, we do not have control over customs charges and cannot predict them. If your package is held by customs, you will need to pay the customs fees to retrieve it. If you do not, the package will be returned to us.
International shipping usually takes between 5-7 business days after processing is complete, depending on customs. Customers will be provided with a customs declaration number once the item is shipped.
**Important:** The sender is not responsible and cannot track any international item once shipped. If customs require any additional fees, these must be paid by the purchaser. You can call the International Inquiry Center at 800-222-1811 for tracking information.
International orders are shipped via USPS First Class Mail, and you will receive a tracking number. We are not responsible for lost or stolen items and will not issue any refunds for such items. Please refer to the mail carrier with your tracking information for assistance in locating your products.
