Damage During Transport
 
All packages forwarded by OPAS are covered by a 2% insurance charge built into the shipping cost. In the event that a package is damaged, OPAS will evaluate each claim on a case-by-case basis to determine the amount of compensation. In order to file a claim, please submit the following: names and descriptions of damaged items, photos of the damaged items, photos of the shipping container, original invoice (including retail purchase price of damaged items) to service@opas.com.
 
Duty
 
Tariffs (import taxes) are decided by the customs authorities of the importing country. If there is a duty, it is the customer's responsibility to pay.
 
Contact with Customs
 
If a customer is contacted by customs regarding the contents of a package, it is the customer's responsibility to follow up with all required correspondence.  Any issue or dispute related to customs is the responsibility of the customer. OPAS will not assume any responsibility and will not communicate with the customs office on the customer's behalf.
 
Returned Packages
 
If a package has to be returned to OPAS due to an incorrect address, or because no one is available at the destination to receive the package, or for any other reason, the customer is responsible for all shipping costs.  Please note that there will be a storage charge after 30 days.
