International Customs Duties & Taxes
Effective Date: June 28, 2025
Welcome to Jeffrey Epstein – Billionaire Boys Club. We are proud to ship our unique artworks and merchandise worldwide. To ensure you have a smooth shopping and delivery experience, please read this comprehensive Customs Duties & Taxes Policy carefully before placing your order.
1. What Are Customs Duties and Taxes?
When goods cross international borders, customs authorities in the destination country may impose import duties, taxes, and fees. These charges vary widely depending on your country’s regulations and can include:
Customs duties (tariffs): Taxes based on the type, value, and origin of goods
Value Added Tax (VAT) or Goods and Services Tax (GST): Consumption taxes applied to imports
Handling fees: Administrative charges by customs or courier companies
Other import fees: Such as excise taxes or environmental levies
These fees are not included in our product prices or shipping costs and are the sole responsibility of the recipient.
2. Customer Responsibility for Customs Fees
As the importer of record, you are responsible for:
- Paying all applicable customs duties, taxes, and fees
- Complying with your country’s import laws and regulations
- Providing any required documentation for customs clearance
Failure to pay these fees may result in delayed delivery, shipment return, or seizure by customs authorities.
3. How Customs Duties and Taxes Are Calculated
Customs authorities calculate duties and taxes based on factors such as:
- The declared value of the shipment (typically the purchase price plus shipping)
- The type and classification of the product according to the Harmonized System (HS) codes
- Applicable trade agreements or exemptions (e.g., Free Trade Agreements)
- Weight, size, and nature of the goods
- Local thresholds or minimum values for customs processing
4. Estimates of Customs Fees
During checkout on our website, you may see an estimated amount of duties and taxes for certain countries.
These estimates are for guidance only and do not guarantee the final amount your customs office will charge.
Actual fees may be higher or lower depending on your country’s regulations and currency fluctuations.
5. Customs Clearance Process
After your order ships from Australia, it will pass through customs inspection in your country.
Customs or courier companies may contact you directly for payment of fees or additional information.
Tracking information is provided so you can monitor your shipment’s progress.
Delivery time may be affected by customs processing duration.
6. What Happens if Customs Fees Are Unpaid?
If customs fees or taxes are not paid:
- Your package may be held at customs or the courier’s facility.
- It may be returned to the sender at your expense.
- It may be subject to destruction or auction as per local laws.
- Jeffrey Epstein – Billionaire Boys Club cannot cover or reimburse customs charges.
7. Avoiding Customs Delays and Unexpected Fees
To help minimize customs issues:
- Research your country’s import rules before ordering.
- Keep your contact details up to date to receive notifications from couriers.
- Provide complete and accurate shipping information.
- Consider smaller orders to stay below import thresholds, if applicable.
- Be prepared to pay customs charges promptly to avoid delays.
8. Country-Specific Customs Notes

10. How to Contact Customs and Couriers
If your shipment is held in customs or you receive a customs fee notice:
