We do get asked this frequently and we wish there was some way to ethically avoid these taxes and fees for our international customers but unfortunately there isn’t. We must properly fill out all customs paperwork and include a receipt with your order. We made a commitment early on in running our business to be 100% straightforward and honest in all of our dealings, with our customers, vendors, and even the tax-man. We hope you understand and even find comfort in knowing that we’re committed in being 100% straightforward with you as well. We do appreciate your business and will continue to strive to keep our prices affordable. Thanks!
Will you reduce the value of my order on the customs paperwork or mark it as a ‘gift’ so I pay less in customs duties/taxes/import fees?
Do your prices include sales tax? What about VAT?
Prices do not include taxes. Orders inside the state of Georgia are subject to a 6% sales tax. We do not collect taxes on orders to other states or international orders; there is currently no national US sales tax. Most international orders are subject to tariffs or taxes upon arrival. This is collected by the government in the country the order was shipped to, and DIYAutoTune.com has no control over these taxes. We do not have the most up to date information on these tax rates, either, so we recommend checking with your local customs office for the most up to date information.
