Kakobuy Shipping & Customs: Lines, Weight and Taxes
International shipping is where most questions come up. Here is how Kakobuy freight, weight and customs work in practice.
Chargeable weight
Freight is billed on chargeable weight — the greater of the parcel's actual weight and its volumetric weight (length × width × height ÷ a divisor). Bulky-but-light parcels are billed by volume.
Consolidation saves money
Combining several items into one parcel spreads fixed first-weight costs across more goods, which usually lowers cost per item.
Declaration & lines
Each shipping line has its own declaration rules and restricted items. Some goods (batteries, liquids, branded items) may be limited. Pick a line that fits your destination and contents.
Customs & taxes
Customs inspection is usually random. If your declared value exceeds your country's threshold, you may pay import VAT or duty. In the EU, VAT applies to imported goods since the July 2021 rules. Provide a tax ID where required so parcels are not held.
