How Post Collect works
Cyprus Post collects U.S. duties at the counter when you drop off your package — no separate app or Zonos account needed. Zonos, a qualified party recognized by CBP, remits those duties directly to CBP, keeping your parcels moving smoothly across the border without the recipient being asked to pay duties at delivery.
