  • Prepaid (Bill Shipper): Shipper pays all shipping charges; consignee or importer pays import duties and tax
  • Bill Receiver: Consignee or importer pays all shipping charges, import duty and tax
  • Free on Board (FOB): Shipper pays shipping charges to port of export; consignee pays balance
  • Cost and Freight (C&F): Shipper pays shipping charges to point of import; consignee pays balance
  • Delivery Duty Paid, Value Added Tax (VAT) Unpaid: Shipper pays shipping charges and duty; consignee pays tax
  • Bill Duty, Tax and Shipping Charges to Shipper: Shipper pays destination country's duty and tax as well as all shipping charges
Third-party billing is also available for the shipper´s portion of the shipping charges. The third party must have a valid UPS account. Customer has to be qualified.

Unless otherwise marked on the UPS shipping document, shipping charges are billed to the shipper´s UPS account number and the consignee or importer pays import duty and tax.
