Will I pay Taxes and Duties (customs fess) for International Orders?
If you're placing an order for delivery outside Australia, using our Flat Rate International Delivery service, you will have to pay taxes & duties as charged by your destination country. (Also referred to as customs charges)

1. How much will I need to pay for customs charges?

• As customs charges vary widely from country to country, we're not able to predict what these charges will be.
• To help avoid being surprised by any unexpected charges, we'd suggest contacting your local customs office before placing your order, or use online tools to get an estimate.
• You'll be notified of any charges due on your parcel and you'll have 7 days to make the payment.
• As soon as payment has been received, your parcel will be released and shipped to the delivery address you selected at the checkout.

1.  What happens if I don't pay the customs charges?

If payment has not been received after 7 days, the carrier will automatically return the parcel to Cosette. Once it arrives back at our warehouse in Australia, we will issue a refund for the items only. We do not offer a refund for delivery in the instance of a customer refusing to pay for customs charges.

• We're not able to reship a parcel that has been returned to us, so you'll need to place a new order if you still want the items.

We ship to most locations on a DDP (Delivery Duty Paid) basis, which means that all relevant import taxes and duties can be included in the shipping costs.
We strongly advise customers to use the UPS Worldwide Delivery/Toll Express services (where available), as these shipping methods include taxes & duties payable at your destination country.
