Delivery To Pakistan - Custom And Other Taxes

[TheLostOne]

Hey, anyone from Pakistan here? Have you ordered something from Appelboom? If yes, what were the duties you had to pay?

Whenever I order from UK, like Cult Pens, I have to pay a ton of duties, around 40-60% [both on DHL courier and normal post, so its not a local post corruption issue]. But when I order from the US [FedEx courier], like Goulet Pens, the duties / handling charges are negligible as they should be on stationery. Zero duty from Hobonichi, Japan.

I'm getting some good deals on Appelboom but I am afraid it being in the EU, the duties might be the same as when I import from the UK.

Hi thelostone ,sad that there have been no replies.Unfortunately none of us are from Pakistan. I know an FPNer who might be able to help you out. Pm

Well. I didn't get the info from anywhere so I purchased locally and then from the US. But ultimately, I had to get something from Appelboom and have just placed my order. *fingers crossed*

I am getting Lamy Studio All Black (EF), Waterman Expert (EF) and Pineider Avatar UR Graphene Black (F). Needless to say, I am fond of black colour in pens

Great pens

 

Hope you get charged negligible duties if any. Custom duties always are the deterrent when it comes to importing from abroad.

Thanks!

 

Appelboom said that I am their first customer from Pakistan!

 

And yes, negligible duties. Yay!
