With GlobalPost Plus – Duties & Taxes Included (DDP), all duties and taxes are calculated and charged at label creation—giving you price transparency that reduces cart abandonment, prevents returns, and builds customer trust and loyalty.

This service is seamlessly integrated and can be accessed directly through the ShipStation platform and the ShipStation API.

Duties and taxes are typically calculated based on a few key factors: the value of the goods, their description, the country of origin, and the destination country’s specific tariff rates. 

With our service, the price for duties and taxes is calculated and guaranteed at the time you create your shipping label. This means the amount you pay upfront is the final amount—there are no unexpected adjustments or surprise fees after your package has shipped regarding duties and taxes. 

No—you won’t be charged additional duties or taxes after your package ships. The price you see at label creation is guaranteed for duties and taxes. However, you may still receive shipping adjustments if there are discrepancies, such as incorrect package dimensions or weight.
