Import duty and taxes

Import Duty & Taxes

The Neon Lab ships to over 50 countries worldwide. Depending on where
you are, your order may be subject to import duty, customs fees or local
taxes on arrival. These charges are outside our control and are the
responsibility of the customer or business receiving the order.

This is particularly important for franchise and wholesale customers
placing large or multi-sign orders — we recommend checking your
country's import thresholds before placing a significant order.

How does it work?

When your sign arrives in your country, your local customs authority
may assess it for duty and taxes based on the declared value of the
goods. If charges apply, you or your freight carrier will be contacted
to pay before the package is released.

We declare all shipments accurately at their full purchase value. We
are not able to mark orders as gifts or under-declare values.
