4. Unpaid or Refused Customs Charges

If a delivery is refused, delayed, or returned due to unpaid customs or import charges, the order will be treated as a failed delivery caused by the customer.

In such cases:

Original shipping costs are non-refundable

Any return shipping, customs, or handling fees will be deducted from any refund

A packaging fee will also be deducted

If return costs exceed the order value, the parcel may be abandoned and no refund will be issued.
