International Shipping Duties & Tax

Each country has different import duty and tax regulations. Due to the complexity, it is the buyer's responsibility to be aware of their country's import duty and tax regulations and pay accordingly to their customs. 

Below are the basic duty and tax regulations for the countries I ship to, but you would need to do your research and double check your government's guidelines (especially Canada). 

• Australia - No duty or tax to pay for goods worth less than $1000 AUD.
• USA - No duty or tax to pay for goods worth less than $800 USA
• Hong Kong - No duty or tax required for import of the goods sold in this shop. Yay!
• UK - No VAT for goods under 39 pounds. No import tax for goods under 135 pounds. VAT is usually 20% of cost of declared goods. Tax is different, around 2.5%.
• Canada - Anything above $20 CAD may require duty and import tax which could range from 5% to 15% of the cost of declared goods, depending on where you are. 
• Thailand - Thailand customs have now become very strict and I would have to be honest about the contents of the parcel and their price as they ask for your order confirmation and receipt. You would need to pay duty & tax (anything over 1500 bhat). DHL will contact you for your ID (passport or national ID) and sort everything out for you. 

Your item will be declared as Collector's rock / stone for customs. Silver jewellery will need to be declared as silver jewellery.

If you are wondering how you will pay any tax or duty, DHL will sort it out for you. They will contact you via phone (most likely) and some countries like Thailand, they will ask for your passport or national ID. 

Please contact me if you have any questions on this matter :)

I would love to send this as a duty paid shipment but I simply can't absorb the costs :'(
