How duties, taxes and other customs fees are treated is dependent on what country you are shipping to. Deliveries to some countries are shipped without having to pay additional duties and/or taxes. This means you will not have to pay these fees separately when your order arrives. In some countries, you can choose to prepay at checkout or pay upon delivery. Check the list below to see which options are available in your country.

Duties and taxes are calculated based on the items ordered, where they were made, your shipment destination and the value of your purchase, and are added to your order total in the shopping cart. Duties and taxes are non refundable except for orders shipping to Canada. 

This charge is determined by your local customs authority and includes:

1) The Sales Tax applied by your country for purchases from the U.S.

2) Duties charged for processing by your country.

If you have any other questions around duties and taxes, let Catstomer Support know.

In some cases you will see “Fees” listed along with duties and taxes when selecting to prepay at checkout. Additional fees, when applicable, may include customs clearance fees, dangerous goods fee, remote area surcharge, high value goods clearance, broker clearance, among others.

Travel Cat guarantees you will not be required to pay any additional cost on delivery when you prepay these fees at checkout, either by selecting to prepay duties and taxes at checkout or if you are shipping to a country that automatically ships without an additional payment of duties as listed below.

Yes we do! Read our article, How to Get Your Cat Used to (And to Love) Their Cat Backpack."

Many of our cat backpacks are airline and carry-on compliant. Because there are so many airlines, it's impossible for us to confirm if it will be compliant with the one you're flying.

For instance, we know “The Fat Cat,” "The Navigator," "The Transpurrter," and The Jackson Galaxy Convertible fly on most airlines.

We recommend we check with your airline specifically to see what types of bags they will accept.  

To be as helpful as possible, here are some common airlines and their pet policies.

Yes! Our cat backpacks are a great bag to strap into a seat belt for a car ride!  

Yeaaaaaa. We're just cat people. But as long as your dog is within the weight the bag holds, it's cool for doggies, too. We've also seen people use #yourcatbackpack for chickens, prairie dogs, and rabbits.

No, we don't give away free products. 

Although we don't do donations requests, you can learn more about how we support cat-causes here.

HECK YEA. We saved a little kitten we found when she was about three weeks — Andie. About a year later we adopted her brother Wilfred. We're obsessed. 

You can contact us for an update. Please note, orders are taking longer than normal due to COVID-19. We appreciate your patience. Once you have tracking, we highly recommend signing up for the carrier's email or text updates. Note, carriers aren't sending as many updates because of COVID-19.

To attach / install the bubble to your cat backpack, place the ring around the bubble, push down until you hear some clicks, then turn to the right (righty tighty!) until it doesn't twist anymore. Watch the video for a visual demonstration!
