When customers order from an international country, OpenBorder calculates the taxes & duties owed. Without pre-collecting taxes and duties upfront, international orders get caught at a local customs office, forcing international customers to travel to the office, pay customs and then take the item home.

Obvi lowered their base shipping costs 20% by integrating with OpenBorder. OpenBorder integrates multiple, specialized international couriers to provide lower cost shipping.
