If your SouthSmoke.com order was inspected by your customs office and is subject to additional import taxes and fees, it is your responsibility to pay these charges assessed by your customs and border services office. Unfortunately, SouthSmoke.com has no control over which packages are inspected by customs and which packages are imposed additional tariffs by your customs office. In regards to customs clearance on International orders, SouthSmoke.com ships packages to International destinations on a daily basis. Most International orders that SouthSmoke.com processes and ships clear customs with little or no duties and no problems. Please note that SouthSmoke.com clearly identifies that International orders may be subject to additional charges by customs in our International Ordering section. SouthSmoke.com also does not offer refunds back to the original payment method provided which is consistent with our International ordering policies and procedures. The International Ordering section of SouthSmoke.com clearly indicates that it is your responsibility to contact your local customs office to determine the different tariffs that your country may impose on imports depending on the merchandise ordered. If your current package is being held by your customs office, please review the different options available to you listed below for additional assistance with your package:

You may claim your package from the local customs office and pay any applicable taxes and fees that were imposed on your package.

You may contact your local customs office and refuse your package. Your package will be returned to the SouthSmoke.com distribution and processing facility in the United States within approximately two to six weeks. You may be subject to return shipping charges and a 15% restocking fee if the package is refused due to customs fees. Once your package arrives back, you may choose to have a SouthSmoke.com Gift Card emailed to you for the merchandise value associated with your returned order minus any applicable return shipping charges and restocking fees. This gift card may be used on future online orders placed at SouthSmoke.com and is typically good for up to two years from the date of issue. You may use this gift card on one order or on many orders over time until the entire value of the gift card is depleted, depending on your ordering needs. Please note that the original shipping charges will not be reimbursed and only the applicable merchandise value after any return shipping charges and restocking fees will be provided with the SouthSmoke.com Gift Card. Please also keep in mind that your Smoke Points balance may be adjusted due to your returned order. Be aware that in the unfortunate event your return shipping charges and the 15% restocking fee exceed the value of the merchandise being refused, then we will not be able to issue a SouthSmoke.com Gift Card as the remaining value of the refused merchandise would otherwise be negated by your return shipping charges and restocking fee. Thus, your only option would be to pay to re-ship your merchandise with the same risk of customs levying import and/or VAT or simply abandon your order. SouthSmoke.com does not have any ability to control your country's laws regarding imports and your obligations thereunder. This is the unfortunate risk you assume when placing an international order with our company. Please be advised that attempting a chargeback for merchandise you have refused due to your country's customs levying an import duty and/or tax which you are unwilling to pay is a violation of our terms of service and not a justifiable method for resolving this issue with our company. Prior to placing an international order, it is highly recommended you review our terms of service regarding international ordering and returns with our company and the issues you may face importing products to your applicable country so you are well informed of the various risks associated with the same.
