FAQ
WILL I HAVE TO PAY CUSTOMS TAXES ON MY SHIPMENT?
For international orders/deliveries, the customer is regarded as the importer of the purchased products and will be held accountable for any applicable customs tax, import duties, goods and services tax (GST), value-added tax (VAT), or any similar charges related to customs clearance.
CAN I GET A REFUND A CUSTOMS FEE?
All applicable customs fees are the responsibility of the recipient. International shipments may be subject to import duties and customs fees, which are imposed upon the package's arrival at the destination country.
I'VE BEEN REQUESTED TO ATTACH COPY OF MY PASSPORT
The shipping company has notified us that there have been increased security measures by U.S. Customs, resulting in random inspections of parcels and a requirement for the recipient's identification. To comply with this security requirement, NABU BEAUTY will send a separate email to the recipient requesting the attachment of identification documents such as a passport or ID card within a specified time frame. The shipping company specifically requires a copy of the recipient's passport with only the full name and birthday visible, while other details should be masked.
Please note that if this information is not provided, successful delivery of the parcel may not be possible. We understand that this process may be inconvenient, but we greatly appreciate your cooperation.
Q: Why do I have to send a copy?
A: Recently, the U.S. and local Customs Authorities have strengthened security checks (DPSS; Denied Parties Security Screen). As a result, there has been an increased number of randomly requested passport copies to verify recipients' identification and shipping information. The shipment will be released within a few days after the cross-check process.
Q: Are all customers required to submit a copy of their passport/ID card to the courier for deliveries on hold?
A: No, the process for clearance of DPSS is randomly selected. However, orders with insufficient shipping information may also be requested to provide copies.
Q: I'm uncomfortable with my personal information being exposed. Does this process pose any personal risk or disadvantage?
A: No, ONLY the Full Name and Date of Birth will be forwarded and cross-checked with the copy of your passport/ID card. The passport/ID information is confidential and strictly limited for the purpose of verification. All personal information is discarded immediately after the process. Please ensure that all other details, except for your Full Name and Date of Birth, are concealed, covered, masked, or removed to protect your privacy.
Q: I refuse to send a copy. Please cancel my order.
A: We apologize, but if the required information and copy are not forwarded to the local customs and courier within the specified time frame, your parcel may be returned. According to the Shipping Policy, returned or canceled orders due to insufficient shipping information are ineligible for any kind of compensation.
