International

Yes. You can use FirstMile solely for international shipping. Our Xparcel International service includes customs-ready options, DDP/DDU routing, and access to trusted international delivery networks—all with one invoice and support team.

This depends on the customs office of the country you are shipping the package to. Some countries are able to bill that immediately, and you should see those charges come through on the same invoice as the shipping charges, but other countries that aren't as responsive can take weeks or even months to respond. It is rare for those charges to take longer than a month or two, but it can happen.

DDP and DDU are international shipping terms that define who pays customs duties & taxes on an imported package.

Pros & Cons of Each Method:

✔️ DDP Ensures Faster Delivery – No customs delays

✔️ DDU Can Be Cheaper – Buyer handles local import fees
