The cost of shipping labels is displayed in your local currency before taxes such as EUR in France or GBP in the United Kingdom. After you buy a shipping label, the cost and the taxes are billed to you in USD through your Shopify account. For more information, refer to Billing and taxes.
Review the following considerations when buying a shipping label:
Shopify Shipping doesn't support DDP (delivered duty paid). If you collect duties and import taxes at checkout, then you can't purchase a Shopify Shipping label for orders where duties have been collected. You need to purchase the label externally or refund the order.
If you're shipping internationally using Shopify Shipping, then your shipment's declared value can't exceed 2,500 USD.
You can print your shipping labels during the label purchase flow or from the Shipping labels page at any time after you purchase your labels.

In the ITEMS section, confirm the number of items that you want to include in this fulfillment.
