US Import Charges:
Due to American import rules, customers should be aware that they are liable for any local Sales Tax associated with the import of their goods. Sales taxes have to be paid by yourself before your goods can be cleared through customs. Unfortunately, we are unable to collect sales taxes prior to shipping.
The Merchandise Processing Fee (MPF) for formal entries is an ad valorem fee of 0.3464 percent. The fee is based on the value of the merchandise being imported, not including duty, freight, and insurance charges. Effective, October 1, 2023, the minimum fee shall not be less than $31.67 and not exceed $614.35. This fee, if applicable, will be collected from you by the courier. Unfortunately, we are unable to collect MPF prior to shipping.
California: The California State Purchase Tax is due on any orders which are less than $1,500. This tax can be added on by us to orders before customers pay, but only once we have received our Tax Permit from the State of California. As such, we are temporarily unable to accept orders below this sum from customers in California. For more information please call us on 1-657-214-0319 or email support@royalbullmetals.com.
