Requirements
You can charge duties and import taxes at checkout if your store meets the following requirements:
- is on the Advanced Shopify or the Shopify Plus plan
- uses a shipping service other than Shopify Shipping
- does not use the Shopify Fulfillment Network
- has Harmonized System (HS) codes applied to products
- uses registration-based taxes
If your store doesn't meet the requirements to charge duties and import taxes at checkout, then you can use a third-party app to calculate duties and import taxes.
