B&H ships most international packages with DHL Express. Shipping fees are calculated on a combined basis of weight, value (for insurance purposes), and destination. Some orders are shipped in multiple parcels. We do not add additional fees to your order if we ship in multiple parcels. DHL Mail is also available for many destinations. DHL Mail is a hybrid service from DHL that delivers to many international countries. The final delivery from this service is by the postal service of that specific country.

Select Special Order items may be shipped to us from our supplier before being shipped to you. Oversized items that don't fit Parcel Services standards will be shipped via an International freight forwarder via Door-to-Airport or Door-to-Door service, depending on your location. The carrier will call you to inform you of your delivery method.

Fees & Shipping Cost

Your country's import duties, taxes and fees are never included in the item and shipping totals. For these fees, please refer to our Duties & Taxes section. Original outbound shipping costs are nonrefundable.

Item Restrictions

Before completing any purchase, please check all product Specifications ("SPECS" tab) to make sure you're choosing compatible items that will work in your country. In addition, please confirm that your country's import rules and regulations will allow you to import the item you're purchasing.

Manufacturer or government restrictions occasionally oblige us to block certain products from shipping outside the USA. We have a special PAL Video Equipment category for countries that use the PAL system. Manufacturer's rebates may not be valid for merchandise shipped outside the USA.

Refused or Returned Deliveries

If an order is refused or returned to us due to inaccurate or incorrect address information or because it was declined or undeliverable, B&H reserves the right to retain the original shipping/handling fee and to charge the payment method originally used for costs we incur related to the return of the undeliverable packages or merchandise to us.

Signature & Ordering Deadline

All orders are shipped "signature required" upon receipt. International orders received before 7am Eastern Standard Time (GMT -05:00) will be shipped the same day. To avoid higher than normal shipping and duties charges, orders containing multiple items will be consolidated in one location prior to shipping. Your order may be delayed by an extra business day. We will notify you via email, if your order will be delayed.

Stock Exceptions

Due to the complexities of export regulations and international shipments, all special orders will be delivered to our warehouse and then shipped to you. This enables B&H to better support your shipment during transit.

Attested Documents

Certain countries require your order's documents to be attested by the chamber of commerce. In the event that you need attested documents there will be a $50 USD fee per document requiring a signature along with a shipping charge to send you the documents.

Rebates

Manufacturer's rebates may not be valid for merchandise shipped outside the USA. Please check the information in your cart to confirm pricing.

Multiple Items

Duties, Taxes, Customs & Other Fees

International orders are generally subject to destination's local import duties and taxes. For specific countries and for many items B&H offers the convenience of having us handling these fees directly over to the broker on your behalf. If your order qualifies for this option, it will be presented to you during the checkout process. In some cases, by adding the item(s) to your cart and indicating to which country you are shipping, you can see applicable duties and taxes. If none are shown, you will still need to check with the destination country as to their regulations regarding applicable charges and fees.

If you opt to pre-pay, we will collect and pass-thru to a licensed broker the import duties and taxes on your behalf. By choosing this service, you authorize B&H to charge any additional import duties, or taxes to the original payment method. You also authorize us to charge any subsequent delivery fee resulting from incorrectly identifying your delivery location as a business vs. residential address to the original payment method.

If you decline our pre-payment service, B&H cannot be responsible for, nor can we offer, any specific advice regarding any customs-related fees that you may incur. For specific information, please consult with your local government import office.

We collect local sales tax (8.875%) on purchases made in our NYC SuperStore and corresponding percentages in any state requiring sales tax collection on remote purchases. Sales taxes are not VATs and cannot be recovered by non-USA visitors upon returning home.

Important information if you are shipping items to California: we are legally required to collect Covered Electronic Waste Recycling Fees ("eWaste" fees) on the retail purchase or lease of "covered electronic devices" (CEDs), which are video display products that the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) has determined to be hazardous when discarded. These products include computer monitors, laptop computers, portable DVD players with LCD screens, "bare" cathode ray tubes (CRTs) and devices containing CRTs, televisions with LCD screens, plasma screens, or CRTs. The fee is variable, depending on screen size:

  • More than 4 inches, but less than 15 inches = $4
  • Greater than or equal to 15 inches, but less than 35 inches = $5
  • Greater than or equal to 35 inches = $6

You will see these fees as itemized components in your order tally whenever shipping items to a California zip code. For more information about these regulations, please visit https://www.cdtfa.ca.gov/taxes-and-fees/covered-electronic-waste-recycling-fee.

Brokerage

The goods will be imported by a locally approved/licensed agent on behalf of the consignee/ebuyer. The consignee authorizes B&H Photo Video to delegate the obligation to import the goods on their behalf to a subcontractor (e.g. customs broker). When you place an order for shipment Internationally, you are authorizing the customs broker designated by us or our contractor to act as agent on the importer's behalf (whether the Importer is you or another person) to clear, report, and account for the imported merchandise and remit all applicable duties, fees and taxes arising from such importation, on behalf of the Importer in accordance with all applicable legal requirements. This authorization does not preclude and may still require the consignee to complete a written POA directly with the customs broker. The consignee will pay the taxes and duties in addition to the purchase price of the goods.
