Orders shipped to countries outside of the USA may be subject to Customs regulations and requirements of the receiving country. Such requirements may include:

• Completion of Customs documentation
• Obtaining an import license
• Payment of import duty fees

It is the purchaser’s responsibility to contact the Customs Office of the destination country for their order and to ensure that all regulations and requirements are met prior to placing an order.

Science Interactive (SI) will happily provide a copy of related Contents Lists and other required information prior to a purchaser’s placement of an order for international shipment. Reach out to our student help form for this information.

Additional charges for import duty may be charged by the destination country’s Customs office and must be paid to that office by the recipient. SI has no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be.

Customs policies vary widely from country to country. Due to frequent changes in various countries’ import regulations, SI cannot warranty that its products fully meet the Customs laws of a destination country; it is the purchaser’s responsibility to do so in advance of placing an order. SI only warrants that packaging complies with international shipping regulations, and that appropriate export documentation will accompany shipments sent abroad.

It is usually a fairly simple process to import, but appropriate procedures must be followed. When Customs clearance procedures are required, they must be completed prior to placing an international order to avoid loss to the purchaser. Failure to do so may cause delays in the receipt of an order and may even cause the shipment to be returned, confiscated, or destroyed by the receiving country’s Customs Department. The purchaser is responsible for all costs associated with the importation and for any loss, return shipping costs, and/or restocking fees associated with a failure to comply with the Customs Import regulations of the country to which the purchaser directs SI to ship.
