Customs & Duties

We do not charge import duties, taxes, or related processing fees. These charges, if any, are determined by the destination country’s customs authorities or by the delivery carrier and must be paid by the recipient.

Depending on the destination country, the delivery carrier or local postal service may pay customs charges on your behalf and bill you separately after delivery. They may also add a handling, brokerage, or disbursement fee.

Customs rules, fees, and duty rates vary by country and may change over time, so we cannot estimate what may apply to your order. For more information, please contact your country’s customs office before ordering.

If you receive an incorrect or defective item, please contact us within 30 days of shipment so we can assist you with the return.

Returned items must be in their original packaging. Please remove any extra labels from the outside of the package. We recommend using an insured shipping service for the return.

Refunds are typically processed within 4 weeks after we receive the returned item. Shipping charges are not refundable. WAWAZA Gift Certificates cannot be returned or exchanged.

Reducing Our Environmental Impact

We strive to reduce our waste and environmental impact through careful packaging and shipping practices.

We pack each order with care to balance packaging efficiency and waste reduction while ensuring adequate protection and safe delivery.

  • Recycled materials: We use recycled paper and cardboard where practical.
  • Right-sized packaging: We select boxes to minimize excess space and reduce unnecessary filler.
  • Minimal plastic use: We avoid plastic packing materials wherever practical.
  • Damage prevention: We pack carefully to reduce breakage and avoid the environmental cost of reshipments.

Our goal is to ensure your order arrives safely while minimizing waste and excess materials.
