Quick Answer: If you're an EU customer being asked to pay customs charges, this is a courier error. DO NOT PAY. Forward the payment request directly to us at support@sure-golf.com and we'll resolve it immediately.

For EU Customers - This Should NOT Happen:

DDP Service Explanation:

  • Delivered Duty Paid: All customs duties and taxes included in your checkout total

  • No additional charges: You should never be asked to pay extra customs fees

  • Pre-cleared: Your package was already cleared through customs before shipping

  • Courier error: Any payment request is a mistake by the delivery company

If You're Asked to Pay Customs Charges:

DO NOT PAY THE CHARGE

  • It's an error: You've already paid all required duties and taxes

  • Not your responsibility: We handle all customs clearance for EU orders

  • Courier mistake: Delivery company made an error in their system

  • We'll resolve: We have processes in place to fix this quickly

What to Do Instead:

  1. Don't pay: Refuse to pay any additional customs charges

  2. Forward to us: Send payment request/link directly to support@sure-golf.com
