The short answer: yes — but with KOSURAN you pay it at checkout, not at your door. The US suspended the $800 de minimis exemption in 2025, so imported parcels are now subject to duty regardless of value. KOSURAN calculates the duty for US orders and collects it upfront (DDP — Delivered Duty Paid): we file and pay customs on your behalf, and the courier doesn't bill you on delivery.

What changed with US customs

For years, packages under $800 entered the US duty-free — which is why overseas shopping felt tax-free. That exemption was suspended in 2025. Now parcels are assessed duty based on the goods and their origin, and couriers collect it from recipients — often with an extra "disbursement fee" — unless the sender prepaid.

DDP vs DDU — why it matters

• DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid): the parcel arrives, the courier demands duty + a handling fee before handing it over. Surprise bills, delayed delivery.
• DDP (Delivered Duty Paid): the seller calculates and pays duty upfront. Nothing to pay at the door.

KOSURAN ships US orders DDP: the customs line is shown at checkout as part of your total, calculated by product category. What you see at checkout is what you pay — period.

What about other countries?

For non-US destinations, orders currently ship DDU — your country's customs may assess duty/VAT per local rules, payable to the courier on arrival. The checkout tells you clearly when duty is not included so there's no ambiguity. (Many countries still have functioning de minimis thresholds under which small parcels clear free — check your local threshold.)

Practical notes

• Duty is a pass-through, not our revenue — we file it and pay it to US customs on your behalf.
• Honest invoices. Declared values reflect what you actually paid. It protects your parcel (insurance, disputes) and you (customs penalties for undervaluation fall on the importer).
• Rates can shift with US trade policy; the checkout always reflects the current calculation at order time.
