St. Maarten/St. Martin
?
Here's what you'll pay in import duties,taxes, and handling fees — plus how Stackry helps you keep costs predictable before you checkout.
Most consumer goods are effectively exempt from customs duties and taxes on St. Maarten/St. Martin, with a $0 threshold for personal imports. While your shipment won't owe government duties or taxes on standard items like electronics and clothing, expect a carrier handling fee of $25-$55 USD to process the package through customs.
No, neither the Dutch Turnover Tax nor French TGCA is typically levied on personal imports at the border. These taxes apply to local business transactions rather than international shipments.
You will likely pay a carrier handling or administrative fee ranging from $25 to $55 USD per shipment. This fee covers the processing of your package through the local port or airport.
Most international shipments enter via Princess Juliana International Airport on the Dutch side, but both territories operate as free ports with no general import duties. You can expect similar fee structures regardless of your specific address.
Yes, special taxes apply to restricted items like alcohol, tobacco, and petroleum products. Standard electronics, clothing, and household items remain exempt from these charges.
Most customs handling and administrative fees are quoted and collected in USD. Carriers may also accept local currencies like the Euro or Antillean Guilder depending on the specific location.
The shipping carrier (such as DHL or FedEx) or their local agent will collect any handling fees at the time of delivery. You do not need to pay these charges directly to customs authorities.
For a typical $500 USD shipment, you should budget approximately $35 USD for carrier handling fees with no additional taxes or duties. This estimate assumes your package contains standard personal consumer goods.
You will likely pay Customs Duty, Droit de Quai (Dock Dues), and Taxe de Consommation (Consumption Tax). These charges are calculated on the total value of your goods plus shipping and insurance.
No, most commercial shipments from Stackry are taxed from the first Euro since St. Pierre and Miquelon has no formal de minimis for courier goods. Personal gifts under €45 may be exempt if they are not commercial in nature.
