Some countries have a de minimis value. If the declared value of your shipment is below that value, you will not have to pay taxes on that import. However, the Maldives does not have a de minimis value, so you will be responsible for tax and duty.

Ship7 offers shipping services that do not include duties, taxes & customs processing fees. Ship7 members will be responsible for paying any charges, including those that are due when your packages are delivered. Meanwhile, we are constantly working on providing our members DDP (Delivered Duties Paid) services for certain countries (where country’s customs processing systems are automated and have pre-set rules for calculations). When selecting shipping options on Order Checkout page, please check whether your shipping service is a DDP service or not.
