Small Business Needs Export Tax / Customs at checkout

Hi All, I have a lingerie start up here making pieces in the UK. I have sales from many different countries and am facing trouble with customers facing import tax after customs. I want to use something like Global e  (they said we were too small to use them) where the currency and payment methods are adjusted for the end user and I want to offer the chance to pay all the correct tax and duty ahead of shipping so there are no nasty surprises. I have basic DHL integration for shipping. Does anyone recommend a way for small businesses to manage international sales without having the worry of tax / import duty rates? Thanks 🙂

Hi, I am a web developer who is interested solving this problem. Small businesses need import tax info just as much as large companies; you should not be excluded from this info. I will be working on creating a Shopify app to address this problem. Please message me if you would like to chat about this more offline. -Jason
