Billing and payments

As a qualified party with CBP, Zonos will invoice you directly to collect the duties and clearance fees for all of your U.S.-bound postal shipments valued under $800 USD.

Zonos will invoice you once we receive shipment data from Česká pošta. There may be a delay of several days between your ship date and when the invoice is generated. Once an invoice is created, your payment method on file is charged within 24 hours.

There is no subscription fee. You are only billed for duties and clearance fees per shipment. View and manage invoices in your Dashboard.

If you have an expired or invalid credit card connected to your Dashboard account and you have shipped parcels on your account, you will receive an email notifying you that you must pay your duties and clearance fees. The email will provide a link where you can securely complete your payment.

If you do not pay your outstanding invoices, your API key will be deactivated and you will not be able to generate Declaration IDs until the balance is cleared.
