Shipping and Handling
The IMF Bookstore ships orders worldwide. If you live outside the United States, you may be able to save money and receive your order sooner if you contact one of our international distributors.
Shipping time is determined first by availability of products and then by the shipping service you select. When selecting a shipping and handling option, remember to add 1-2 business days to the transit time for processing. Business days are Monday through Friday. We are closed on most US holidays. If you need something urgently, please contact our Customer Service Department.

International Duties and Taxes
Please note that our shipping and handling charges do not include international duties or taxes, which may be applicable to your shipment. Such duties or taxes may form a separate charge payable directly to the courier upon receipt of the package. We have no way to determine such charges in advance as they are imposed by national customs authorities.
Tracking Your Order
Upgraded shipment methods are traceable and you will receive tracking information in your shipment confirmation if you choose this option. Regular shipments are handled by surface postal carriers and are not assigned tracking numbers. There is no way to verify delivery or chart the progress of a mailed package once it leaves our warehouse as a regular shipment.
