Terms to know:
Import taxes are fees charged by customs authorities on goods brought into a country from abroad. These taxes vary significantly between countries and even within their borders.
A de minimis value is the minimum price point for imported goods before taxes or duties are applied. For example, Singapore imposes a 9% tax on imports valued at SGD 400 or more.
Landed cost is the overall expense of delivering a product, including the item's price, shipping charges, taxes, duties, fees, and insurance. While import taxes usually apply only to the product itself, they can sometimes extend to shipping and other costs.
