The price is always calculated based on the current price list. The price is made up of a basic price and kilo surcharge. The price depends on the weight and recipient country/zone. The price is determined according to the chargeable weight of the parcel, i.e. the higher of the actual weight and volume weight. Export declaration is included in the price. Standard import declaration duty is included in the price for price zones 1-6. Any customs charges and VAT are always paid for by the recipient.
