Yes, customs duties and import taxes are charged in each country according to your country’s laws. Our experience in the USA is a duty of $100 to $300 per harp. In other countries it is somewhat higher or lower, and it can be very high in a few countries. We strongly recommend that you get information on this before ordering!

  • Why shipping cost for harps is so high?

The cost of shipping a harp is the part that surprises most people. Freight companies charge by the size of the box, rather than the actual weight. Due to the large size of a harp box, shipping is many times more expensive than people typically expect. On the other hand, that carton protects your delicate instrument. We pay extra attention to safe packaging so that your harp arrives just as it left the factory.
