### What should I expect when receiving a Stripe Terminal reader in an outlying territory?
The delivery and import process can vary by territory and shipment.
Stripe does not charge customs duties, import taxes, VAT, or customs-clearance fees at checkout for overseas territories that Stripe identifies as Designated Markets before you place your order.
These charges are not included in your checkout total and may be assessed after your order has been submitted and collected separately by the local government authority, carrier, customs broker, or other service provider.
Your carrier may contact you by phone to arrange delivery or discuss import charges. You may need to pay these charges before your reader can be handed over, and you may not receive advance notice before the delivery driver arrives.
### Will I need to pay customs fees or import taxes?
You may be asked to pay local import taxes, customs fees, or carrier handling charges before your reader can be handed over. The amount and type of charges can vary by territory and shipment, and some deliveries may have no additional charges.
Potential charges and invoice line items include the following. (_Note_ - Descriptions in French are included to users identify them on an invoice):
* Customs release charge (Crédit d’enlèvement): a charge associated with the customs release credit arrangement
* UPS administrative or processing fee (Frais de dossier UPS (GP&MQ))
* Local import tax (dock dues) (Octroi de mer or Octroi de mer externe)
* Regional import tax (regional dock dues) (Octroi de mer régional or Octroi de mer externe régional)
* VAT on goods (TVA marchandise)
* Customs clearance agent fees (Honoraires agréés en douanes)
* Customs duty (Droit de douane communautaire). This line item may appear with a zero amount.
These invoice descriptions are examples. This is not an exhaustive list of charges that may apply to every shipment. Users must check their invoice for charges and amounts applicable to their delivery.
### How do I pay a delivery or import charges?
The carrier will tell you how to pay any charges. Payment may be requested at time of delivery. Check the accepted payment methods with UPS or Fedex and keep a copy of the invoice and payment receipt.
### Will I need to complete import documents or show identification?
Requirements may vary. You may be asked to show government-issued identification, even if no import forms are required. Follow your carrier’s instructions and confirm whether you need to provide any documents or identification.
### What should I check on the invoice?
Check that the invoice is for your shipment and that the recipient details, items, and charges are correct. If you receive an incorrect invoice or something does not match your shipment, ask the carrier or customs contact that issued it to clarify or correct it before you pay. Keep the corrected invoice and any payment receipt for your records.
