FedEx pays the Duty and Tax charges on your behalf to ensure we can deliver your shipment as quickly as possible. This incurs an Administration charge of 2.5% of the combined Duty and VAT charge or £12.00 (whichever is greater). The fee for Ireland is 15€. This Administration charge is also referred to as an Advancement fee.
