Customs & Taxes
Orders are currently shipped from Canada.
Canada
All Canadian orders are shipped with duties and taxes included. You will not be charged any additional fees upon delivery. Sales tax is calculated at checkout based on your shipping address and the applicable provincial or territorial tax laws. Because tax rates vary across Canada, the amount charged may differ depending on where your order is being delivered.
International Orders
For orders shipped outside of Canada, your package may be subject to customs inspection and import duties or taxes upon arrival. These charges are determined by your local customs authority and are the responsibility of the customer.
While we ensure all required documentation is accurately provided, Avele is not responsible for any customs delays or additional charges incurred during the import process.
USA Customers:
Due to recent changes in U.S. import regulations, all orders (regardless of value) may be subject to duties, taxes, or import fees upon arrival.
These charges are determined by U.S. customs and are not controlled by Avele. While some orders may still clear without additional fees, this is not guaranteed.
