International shipping can be more expensive. Sometimes duties, brokerage, and other fees are added as well. While we will make reasonable efforts to keep these costs low, international import and export fees are ultimately not controlled by Trew Audio, and will be the expense of the recipient. The Customer must also be aware that international shipments can be held up in customs in unpredictable ways, and when out of the carrier's hands it becomes impossible to absolutely guarantee delivery within the previously specified time frame.
