Billing and payments

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

Your payment method on file is auto-billed daily for new shipments. The postal clearance fee is listed in your Zonos Dashboard under SettingsBilling, in the Plan section.

If your card expires or is invalid, you'll receive an email with a secure link to pay your outstanding balance. When you pay, the new payment method is saved to your account and used for future auto-charges.

If outstanding invoices remain unpaid, your Verified Account will be deactivated and you won't be able to create Japan Post labels until your balance is settled.
