International Customers (Updated 9/2026)

We received the following notice from our international shipping and tax compliance service:

To align with evolving international tax requirements, we’re updating how tax is handled for cross-border shipments into Australia and New Zealand.

Effective April 12, 2025, we began collecting AU and NZ tax on all orders. This update ensures your shipments remain fully compliant with local laws.

Australia requires online retailers to collect GST on sales of low-value goods (sales price of 1,000 AUD or less) to consumers in Australia and remit the collected GST to the Australian Taxation Office. This requirement applies to foreign-based online retailers with actual or projected annual sales to Australian consumers of 75,000 AUD or more.

While West Coast Classic Cougar does not individually exceed 75,000 AUD in annual Australian sales, the tax service provider managing our international shipping does—meaning this requirement applies to all WCCC shipments to Australia and New Zealand.

Our parts are classified as "Antique Auto Parts" and were historically duty-free. As of March 2025, Canada has imposed a 25% duty on these items, so duty-free exemptions no longer apply.
We have worked with UPS to waive certain brokerage fees; all rates shown at checkout now include all UPS fees. We have also integrated DHL, which offers lower cross-border fees.

Our shipping provider has added Duties Prepaid (DDP) options for US Postal Service shipments to Canada, allowing us to resume USPS delivery to Canadian addresses.

Please note: Because Duties Prepaid via USPS is a newer postal workflow, Canada Post occasionally flags prepaid packages as COD. If this occurs, inform Canada Post that the shipment was sent Duties Delivered Paid (DDP). If they still insist on collecting payment before delivery, please contact us with your receipt for assistance.

Unfortunately, we are currently unable to accept or ship orders directly to destinations inside Turkey.
Due to import regulations in Turkey regarding B2C e-commerce shipments, direct e-commerce tax clearance (DDP) is no longer supported for standard carrier deliveries. Packages sent to Turkey must undergo formal import entry through Turkish Customs. As a result, customers in Turkey must hire a local licensed Turkish customs broker or arrange clearance through a local customs agent in Turkey to clear and receive incoming shipments. When you arrange shipments with your local customs agent/broker, they will most likely provide you with a US based shipping address or will help arrange pickup at our location.

Please Note: The "Cannot ship to Turkey" message will show until you enter a US shipping address and choose a US Shipping method in Checkout.

Our international shipping system automatically calculates and pre-collects Duties, Taxes, and Fees for UK orders.
  • Orders Over £135: Must ship via UPS or DHL using DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) service. USPS/Mail Innovations cannot be used for orders over £135 because national postal services cannot pre-pay UK customs duties.
  • Orders Under £135: Can ship via USPS / Mail Innovations or UPS/DHL, as UK VAT is remitted directly.
Cost-Saving Tip: If your total order exceeds £135, consider splitting it into smaller separate orders under £135 each. Splitting orders under £135 unlocks lower-cost postal shipping options, avoids import duties, and avoids carrier brokerage processing fees.

Unfortunately, we are currently unable to accept or ship orders directly to destinations inside the European Union.

Recent EU regulations—specifically Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) and the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR)—require international sellers to register with separate local packaging registries within each individual EU country we ship to, along with maintaining complex compliance tracking. Due to high administrative costs, legal registration requirements, and potential fines, we cannot process direct shipments to EU addresses at this time across any carrier (USPS, UPS, or DHL).

Fulfilling EU Orders via Freight Forwarding

We can fulfill orders for EU customers using U.S.-based freight forwarding services.

Customers frequently use Reship.com with great success. They offer reasonable rates and an online shipping calculator to estimate costs prior to ordering.

Key Advantages of Reship.com's Portland, Oregon Warehouse:
  • 0% U.S. Sales Tax Nationwide: Oregon has no state sales tax. Using Reship's Portland address eliminates U.S. sales tax on purchases made through WCCC and any other U.S. merchant or reseller.
  • Lowest Domestic Shipping Rates from WCCC: Because Reship's warehouse is in Oregon (located in the same shipping zone as WCCC), domestic delivery to your Reship address is fast and incurs our lowest domestic shipping rates.

Please Note: The "Cannot ship to the EU" message will show until you enter a US shipping address and choose a US Shipping method in Checkout.

US Postal Service (USPS) Rules & Limitations
Our international checkout supports USPS only if the order total (including shipping to most destinations) falls below your country's Duty/Tax De Minimis threshold (View De Minimis Chart).

Exceptions:
  • Canada: USPS available on orders of any value.
  • United Kingdom: USPS available on orders up to £135.
The US Postal Service (USPS) has suspended service to several countries (see active USPS service alerts). UPS Worldwide Services and DHL Express remain active for these destinations.
