U.S. customs & taxes
Importing trading cards into the United States is not duty-free. We provide HS code guidance for trading cards to help your parcel clear customs smoothly, but U.S. customs duties and taxes are ultimately determined by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the carrier. Any duties, taxes, or brokerage fees assessed on import are the buyer's responsibility and are not included in the estimates above.
We declare the actual transaction value and do not under-declare shipments.
Payment methods
