Courtesy Note – Import Fees and Tariffs:

This is a snippet from our Shipping Policy:

Customs fees, brokerage fees, import duties, and taxes are the sole responsibility of the customer.

USA: As of May 2, 2025, the United States has eliminated the $800 de minimis duty-free threshold for imports from China and Hong Kong. As a result, all shipments—regardless of value—are now subject to U.S. import tariffs.

For orders shipped from VKB HQ in China (including all VKBsim products), the current import rate is 45% of the total declared value. This includes:

35% customs duty
10% additional tariff

These fees are collected by the carrier (e.g., DHL) at the time of customs clearance and must be paid before your order can be delivered.

For more info on these import fees, please also visit our U.S. Tariffs FAQ.

VKB North America reserves the right to reject any future orders from domestic or international customers that previously refused delivery due to fees, duties, or taxes levied by the government.
