Ke Ke, 

Thanks for taking the time to post to our community forums. We do not have the capabilities to set the default to a third party, but we are able to create a Shipping Rule to achieve this outcome! This can be set up within your Settings page. 

Best of Rules: Third Party Billing

Hope this helps!

No, your link tells me how to charge the shipping fee on a 3rd party account, however, I want to charge the international tax and duties on a 3rd party account.

Hello KeKe!

Thanks for your response and we apologize for the third party billing link being incorrect.  Here is the link to see how to set billing for customs and duties to a third party.

How to: Bill postage or customs duties (taxes) to a third party

I hope this help, but please don't hesitate to let us know if you have further questions or concerns.

Hi

Thanks for your reply, however, I still don't know how to charge duties to a third party account automatically, I have to input the account number one by one manually, it's really inconvenient.

Thank you Ke Ke. I am having the same issue. 

Hello Rewa, in the link you posted for Bill postage or customs duties (taxes) to a third party - it shows what Ke Ke and I are asking for: when you follow it to the FedEx link under "To bill customs duties (taxes) to a third party," you see that the only FedEx options that ShippingEasy allows are to bill to Sender and to bill to Recipient. It doesn't even give us the option of selecting Third Party. 

FedEx does allow Third Party billing for customs duties/taxes, but ShippingEasy hasn't enabled that option. This is important for us as a non-resident importer, since we pay the duties/taxes, and we must charge those fees to our separate shipping account in order to avoid FedEx "advancement fees" for covering them for us and then asking us to pay them back later...

Could you enable FedEx third party billing for duties/taxes? Thank you!

Hello David and Ke Ke!

Thanks for your replies. I do apologize for the misunderstanding.  You are correct that there is not a third party option for the customs duties.  There is only the option to have Customs Duties paid by either the sender or receiver.
