UNDERSTANDING IMPORT DUTIES Import duties and taxes are assessed by your local customs authority based on the value of your order and the regulations of your country. These charges are separate from the price paid on brilinton.com and are not controlled by the House. SHIPPING HUBS Brilinton currently fulfills orders from two locations: China: Serving clients worldwide. United States: Primarily serving domestic orders. As the House grows, additional regional hubs will be introduced to provide seamless delivery and reduce the complexity of duties for clients around the world. SALES TAX (VAT / GST) In certain regions, Brilinton is registered to collect sales tax, VAT, or GST at checkout. These amounts are transferred directly to the local tax authority, ensuring compliance and simplifying the process for clients. CLIENT RESPONSIBILITY Clients are responsible for all duties, VAT, and taxes required by their local authorities. Couriers typically collect these fees at the time of delivery. Refusal to pay may result in the package being returned or destroyed by customs, in which case refunds cannot be guaranteed. CUSTOMS DUTY Customs duty is assessed by local authorities when goods cross international borders. The rate and threshold vary by country, and payment is required for release from customs. Brilinton has no control over these charges, which remain the responsibility of the recipient. VARIATION BY REGION European Union & UK: VAT is usually collected by the courier upon delivery. United States: Recent regulatory changes have increased the likelihood of duties and taxes being applied to imported goods. While some orders may still clear without additional fees, higher-value shipments are now more frequently assessed. Brilinton continues to refine its logistics network, including U.S. domestic fulfillment, to minimize such impacts for our clients. Asia-Pacific, Middle East, and Other Regions: Duties and VAT vary significantly by country. Clients are encouraged to consult local authorities for precise rates. BRILINTON’S APPROACH Brilinton ensures that all customs documentation is prepared accurately to support smooth clearance. While the House cannot influence local duty rates, we remain available to guide clients should questions arise during the process.
