Here’s what consumers have asked with answers from iHerb staff and previous consumers.
Dear Tim, When shipping to Canada iHerb offers different shipping methods. The one you chose uses the Postal Service for customs clearance and delivery. Because of that reason you are less likely to get assessed customs fees and since your order was not assessed customs fees you also did not have to pay broker fees as well.
Dear Romita, Thank you for asking your question. The reason why we are asking for that much information is due to customs requirements for clearance of your package. Each country has different requirements for products to be imported. Please feel free to contact our customer service directly if you would like a more detailed break down of the information that is required for your country.
It can be complicated to get orders delivered in India. You need to have specific documents submitted to customs before they release the package to you. Also they do require you to pay customs fees and taxes which can be pretty high. Since laws change so quickly with customs, it would be a good idea to check with customs to see the latest requirements and fees. Most packages get delivered to India with in 5 to 7 business days.
