One of the most common questions we get from international customers is: will my jersey order be held at customs? This is a completely valid concern. No one wants to wait extra weeks or get surprised by unexpected fees when their package arrives. In this guide, we explain everything you need to know about customs, import duties, and taxes when ordering jerseys online.
How Customs Works for Jersey Orders
When you order cheap MLB jerseys, cheap NFL jerseys, or NBA jerseys from our store, your package ships from our international warehouse. Depending on your country, the package may go through customs inspection before it is delivered to you. Customs officials check packages to make sure they comply with local import regulations.
Most jersey orders pass through customs without any issues. However, some countries may require you to pay import duties or value-added tax (VAT) before the package is released. The rules and thresholds vary by country.
Do I Have to Pay Import Duties?
Whether you have to pay import duties depends on your country and the value of your order. Here is a general overview for major regions:
United States: Orders under $800 are generally duty-free. Most individual jersey orders fall well below this threshold.
European Union: All imported goods are subject to VAT. Since 2021, there is no duty-free threshold, so VAT applies to all orders regardless of value.
United Kingdom: Orders under £135 do not require customs duties, but VAT still applies.
Rest of the world: Each country has its own thresholds and rates. We recommend checking your local customs website for the most accurate information.
How Much Are the Fees?
Import duties and taxes are calculated as a percentage of the declared value of the package. In the EU, VAT rates typically range from 19% to 27% depending on the country. Some countries may also charge a small customs processing fee.
At 96 Jersey Supply, we do our best to help you understand the potential costs before you order. Our customer support team can give you general guidance based on your country, but we recommend checking with your local customs office for the most accurate rates.
What If My Package Is Held?
If your package is held at customs, do not panic. In most cases, you will receive a notification from your local postal service or customs office explaining what you need to do. Usually, it just means you need to pay the applicable duties or taxes, and then the package will be released.
Keep an eye on your email and phone for customs notifications.
Pay any required fees promptly to avoid delays.
