Duties & Taxes

Most products are subject to the payment of import duties (e.g. in the U.S.) or other duties, and other charges including value-added tax (VAT) or other taxes. If these are applicable, they will be levied and determined when the shipment is processed by the applicable customs agency in your country/area. Please check the import policies in your country/area to understand and ascertain the applicability of and your liability for any such duties or taxes on the products you purchase from us.

On July 1, 2021, new value-added tax (VAT) rules on e-commerce sales came into effect in the 27 countries of the European Union (EU), which affects the sales of goods to EU consumers through online stores. An Import One-Stop Shop (IOSS) number shall be provided to the carrier for orders on which MiOT-STORE has collected VAT and to be shipped to the EU from non-EU countries/areas. The 27 countries within the EU include Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, and Sweden.

All duties and taxes applicable in other countries/areas, if any, are not included in the purchase price of your order or transaction. If they apply and are levied, then you rather than us, the manufacturer or the supplier shall be solely and exclusively liable, and you shall directly pay them to your government or to the designed courier service company on delivery of your items. We (or the manufacturer, or the supplier) shall not be liable for payment of the aforesaid duties, charges and taxes.

We shall not be liable for any delay in shipping or customs clearance since such delay is out of our control.


Delivery Time

The total delivery time is the sum of the lead time and the shipping time.
Lead time = the period between your order and shipment of the ordered products. (It usually lasts for 1-5 days, shown on the product description page after the product name.);
Shipping time = the period between shipment and delivery of your order. (It usually requires about 15-20 business days dependant on the shipping method.).

But please note that any delivery time or date, time or periods mentioned herein, or otherwise quoted or communicated to you in any form or manner, are merely estimates and are not guaranteed, and may be subject to delays for a variety of reasons, some of which may be out of our control. For example, in some cases, your customs authority may hold your products for examination and duties collection, which may result in a delay of the delivery. Except as provided in the next paragraph, we shall not be responsible or liable for any late delivery or non-delivery caused by such objective factors (for whatever cause or reason, and whether or not within our control). If any product fails to arrive at you within 60 business days from the date on which your order or transaction was accepted and your payment was received, or from the applicable estimated or quoted delivery date, whichever is the later, then you may reject, cancel or terminate your order or transaction, in which event we will be solely and exclusively liable, and in respect of the late delivery or non-delivery and the resulted rejection, cancellation or termination of the order, you are entitled to the sole and exclusive remedy in the form of refund (interest-free) to the extent of any payment you have already made for such order or transaction.

Insurance

You shall be solely and exclusively liable for all risks of loss and damage of your purchased product(s) during the transportation between you and us. Please note that, under applicable laws and/or international treaties, the liability of the carrier, shipper, shipping agent and/or other relevant parties for any loss of or damage to product(s) handled by them may be excluded, recovered or limited. Therefore, for all shipments, we recommend that you purchase appropriate, relevant and adequate insurance to cover against the risk of loss and damage during transportation.

When you purchase such insurance, the insurance terms and conditions of the underwriter by whom such insurance is effected shall be followed; provided however that the coverage provided by such insurance shall be limited to the invoice value of the items.

In the event that you have purchased insurance and you want to file a claim for any loss of or damage to your product under such insurance through us, please contact us to initiate the claim.
