If customs duties and taxes are not paid:
The package may be held by customs. Customs authorities will not release the shipment until the required fees are settled.
The package may be returned to the sender. If the fees remain unpaid after a certain period, customs may return the item to the seller, and you could forfeit the shipping fees.
The package may be destroyed or abandoned. In some cases, customs may dispose of goods if fees are unpaid or if the items are restricted or prohibited.
Note: If a package is returned or abandoned due to unpaid duties or taxes, the buyer is not eligible for a refund of shipping costs. It is in Drip's sole discretion to refund or not refund the original purchase price. Refunds will be made in Drip credits.
