Customs, Duties & Import Taxes
PeruvianCultures ships internationally from Peru. Your order may be subject to import duties, taxes, and customs clearance fees imposed by your country’s customs authority. These charges are:
- Determined entirely by your local customs office — not by PeruvianCultures
- The sole responsibility of the recipient
- Not included in the item price or shipping fee charged at checkout
We have no control over these charges and cannot predict their amount. We recommend contacting your local customs office before placing your order if you have any concerns. Please note that we are legally required to declare the full value of goods on all customs documentation and cannot mark shipments as “gifts” or undervalue declarations.
Shipping Address
Please ensure your shipping address is complete and accurate at checkout. PeruvianCultures is not responsible for orders delivered to an incorrect address provided by the customer. If you notice an error after placing your order, contact us immediately at peruvianculturesperu@gmail.com and we will do our best to correct it before dispatch.
Lost or Damaged Shipments
If your order is lost in transit or arrives damaged, please contact us within 14 days of the estimated delivery date. We will work with DHL to investigate and, where confirmed lost or damaged through no fault of the customer, we will arrange a replacement or full refund. We recommend photographing any damage upon receipt of your package, as this may be required when filing a claim.
