Several of our overseas customers have expressed concerns about custom duties, etc. An acknowledgement receipt will be enclosed in each order, but no pricing/cost listed. USA customs requires us to list the "cost of goods" on the outside custom forms. However, those "cost of goods" will be listed as follows:
