Quick Question about Play-Asia.Com!

Question

When I go to order it says the following.

"Total value does not contain any duty & taxes for destinations outside Hong Kong. Please ALWAYS ask your local customs office if in doubt (Duty free import USA up to US$200, E.U. EUR 22). Duty & tax consists of your local GST/VAT rate and a processing fee. Play-Asia.com cannot predict the amount of these fees and cannot be held liable for any loss or damage as a result of any duties & fees or possible inaccurate information herein."

What does that mean? Am I going to be charged later for more? Please tell me.

Answer 1

Better watch out there are ,at times hidden costs involved. You must clarify with the shipper about the total cost of door to door shipping.

Answer 2

Yes and it depends of your location's customs regulations. The shipper can only shoulder the cost, if any, within Hong Kong.

However, shipping companies like DHL, Fedex, EMS can predict the cost. Sometimes, but not always, they will charge expected cost before sending the goods. Small gift items normally not charged.
