Understanding Customs and Taxes When Shopping Internationally: Why You Don’t Need to Worry

Have you ever hesitated to order your dream bed or toy set because you’re unsure about taxes or customs fees?

You’re not alone — many families feel anxious about international shipping, especially when they see words like tariffs or import duties. The good news? When you shop with Simre Kids, you can relax — we’ve already taken care of everything for you. 💛



What Are Customs Fees and Why Do They Exist?


Customs duties or tariffs are government charges applied to imported goods. They vary by country and product type. In some cases, couriers handle these procedures on behalf of the customer, and in others, buyers are asked to pay before their packages arrive.


While that may sound complicated, it doesn’t have to be! Knowing who is responsible for customs clearance makes all the difference.



What Does “DDP Shipping” Mean—and Why Is It Stress-Free?


At Simre Kids, all international orders are shipped DDP (Delivered Duty Paid).

This means:

There are no surprise costs after checkout.

We handle all taxes and import duties on your behalf.

Your order arrives directly at your doorstep—smooth and simple.


Once your order ships, our trusted partner FedEx takes care of the rest. Before your parcel reaches your country, FedEx contacts you for any required paperwork—like a Power of Attorney (POA) or brief declarations depending on local regulations. After receiving your confirmation, they complete the customs process and deliver your order right to your home.


So instead of navigating complex forms, all you need to do is look forward to your little one’s new favorite piece arriving soon!
