What are inspection fees?
Charges levied by customs or biosecurity authorities in the destination country to cover the cost of physically examining your shipment. Inspection fees are separate from standard customs clearance charges. These vary by country and the size of your shipment.
Also known as: Customs exam fees, examination fees
PSS Tip: Inspection fees cannot always be predicted or avoided — customs authorities have the right to inspect any shipment. These are therefore payable at the destination before your goods can be released.
