Customs duty
Packages to countries outside the EEC may be taxed at customs.

The USA example:

Most goods used or new, arriving into the United States for personnal use are liable to Customs duty.

Provence Decoration ships parcels by the International Postal Service via the French Postal Service directly linked to USPS, in the respect of Universal Postal Convention.

Merchandise shipped through the international postal service may be forwarded upon its arrival in the United States to one of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) International Mail Branches for clearance.

If the value of your purchase is less than $2,000 in value, and is being shipped by mail it will be imported as an informal entry.
Clearing goods through CBP as an informal entry is less arduous a process than clearing them by filing a formal entry. A CBP official will usually prepare the paperwork for importing it, assess the proper duty if any is owed, and release it for delivery.

If any duty is owed, CBP will charge a Postal processing fee for clearing your package. Duty and the processing fee are usually paid at your local post office, where your package is forwarded.
Packages whose declared value is under $200 will generally be cleared without any additional paperwork prepared by CBP.

This shipment way is considered by far the most of online buyers as the most inexpensive shipping method for shopping from abroad for equal guarantees than those proposed by carriers companies and customs brokers as or .
In practic, statistically, 1 of 5 packages up to $2000 will be custom taxed and much less of packages up to $200.

Indeed, unlike these companies that include a customs broker service fee on which they take a wide margin beneficial, USPS charges at most a $5.35 custom clearance fee if the parcel is customs taxed.

Moretheless, with the International Postal Service you can choose among various options for tracking, insurance or recommendation of your parcel for the most competitive rates.
