🌎 International Shipping with DDU – What to Expect

What is DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid)?

We proudly ship worldwide from the USA. For international orders, we use Delivered Duty Unpaid (DDU) terms. This means import duties, taxes (e.g., VAT, GST), and customs processing fees are not included in your order total. These fees are charged by your country’s customs service upon delivery and are your responsibility, as they go directly to your government, not to Descendant of Miyagi.

🧳 What to Expect for a $28 T-shirt Order

Fees Vary by Country:
Most countries charge import duties, taxes, or customs fees, typically ranging from 5–25% of your order value, depending on local regulations and product type (e.g., apparel).
