Ordering sports nutrition from another country should not feel like a small admin-based endurance event. Good news: Kendal Mint Co now lists 22 destinations where taxes, duties and customs fees are prepaid.
That means a cleaner checkout, fewer surprise courier messages, and a much smoother delivery experience for customers in those destinations.

Check the shipping page and checkout for the latest status before placing an order.
What does prepaid duties mean?
It means the relevant taxes, duties and customs fees are handled upfront for the listed destinations. In plain English: fewer awkward surprises after you have already paid.
International shipping can still be affected by local courier handling or customs processes, because borders have never been known for their relaxed attitude to paperwork. But prepaid duties remove one of the biggest points of friction.
How quickly will my order arrive?
For EU orders under 2kg, tracked delivery may take 3-5 working days after dispatch. Heavier EU parcels and other international services may use different tracked options and timelines.
Does this apply everywhere KMC ships?
No. KMC ships to more countries than the prepaid duties list. For destinations outside that list, customers may still be liable for local taxes, customs and import costs billed by the courier provider.
How to avoid delays
Use accurate contact details at checkout, including email and phone number. If a courier needs information, you want that message to find you before your gels start sightseeing without you.
