Charges for any special services not included in this schedule would be by mutual agreement only.

FedEx Trade Networks bond fees do not apply, provided they have a valid Power of Attorney (POA) allowing FedEx Trade Networks to utilize your existing surety bond.
How do I pay for Customs Duties & Taxes?
Duties and taxes can be paid via an ACH to the customs authorities or via Autopay on the Freightos platform. However, any duties amount exceeding 10,000 USD must be charged via Direct ACH. In a case where the Marketplace Seller is handling the customs brokerage, you will need to pay this separately via your Seller. In both cases you will only be invoiced once the goods arrive at the destination port. Duties and taxes are due 10 days post invoicing.
Please take into account that there may be additional wire or credit card fees for these payments.
Shipments and goods may be delayed, detained, or withheld from release if customs duties are not paid in a timely manner and you may be liable for any costs and/or damages arising from delayed payment, including, but not limited to, storage charges. It is critical that you provide any needed documentation and payments in a timely manner to avoid charges. Freightos and Sellers will not be liable in any manner for any delays, detention or damages to goods arising from failure to make timely payment of Customs and other government duties. Failure to remit payment to the US customs authorities will result in the Importer of Record being blacklisted by the US authorities and penalties/fines. Blacklisted IORs are prevented from importing to the United States until payment is made in full for both duty and penalties/fine.
