Quick answer
A tariff surcharge is a fee added to your Mondo order to cover tariff-related costs. It's a separate line item at checkout, not part of the product price or standard shipping.
Why a separate surcharge?
Tariffs are government-imposed taxes on imported goods. When Mondo ships internationally, these costs can vary by country and product type. Rather than building them into product prices (which would raise costs for all customers), Mondo applies the surcharge only to orders that incur tariff expenses.
This approach keeps base prices lower for domestic buyers while transparently passing along external costs. The surcharge amount is fixed at $8 per order, as noted in the product listing.
What the surcharge does not cover
The tariff surcharge is separate from standard shipping fees, taxes, or any other handling charges. It specifically addresses tariff-related costs generated by your order. If your order is subject to additional customs duties or brokerage fees beyond the tariff, those are not included in this surcharge.
Frequently asked questions
When is the tariff surcharge applied?
The surcharge appears as a separate line item during checkout, before you complete payment. It is generated automatically for orders that incur tariff costs.
Can I avoid the tariff surcharge?
The surcharge is tied to tariff-related costs that Mondo incurs for your order. If your shipping destination or product category triggers tariffs, the fee will apply. There is no option to remove it from eligible orders. Check your destination country's import rules before ordering if you want to estimate total costs.
Is the surcharge refundable?
The tariff surcharge is a pass-through fee paid to customs authorities. If you cancel your order before shipment, the surcharge is typically refunded along with the product price. Contact Mondo support for specific cancellation and refund policies.
How is the $8 amount determined?
The $8 figure is a fixed surcharge set by Mondo to cover tariff-related costs. It does not vary by order value or product type. This transparency lets you know exactly what to expect at checkout.
