Most of the eCommerce sites which accept Bitcoin are limited to the US or a few countries in the EU. For example, Overstock doesn't allow purchases on its website using Bitcoin for international buyers.

Wow... just checked out your site. Nice design, and very easy to use. It was effortless to calculate shipping costs and all. But is it possible to make a pre-payment of the customs and excise duties?

Thank you! Unfortunately you cannot prepay the customs duties as they are charged to the receiver by the courier (usually FedEx or DHL).

If you would like to pay these charges with bitcoin we are able to pay them on your behalf. Once you've received the bill forward it to us. We will bill you via BitPay for the same amount. Once paid, we will pay the customs bill. Ideally we do not do this as it can slow the process by a couple of days. Not the end of the world though

OK... fair enough. I think it will be better to pay the customs duty directly to the courier service.
