VAT rates can range from 0% to 10% or higher, depending on your country. We process each order individually and will inform you of any additional import fees that may be applied by the shipping carrier. With our extensive experience in global shipping, we have found that the process and costs are generally minimal and streamlined, especially with carriers like FedEx. There are also various legal options for importing jewelry and gemstones that may result in little to no VAT. Please contact us with details about your specific country and the items you are interested in, so we can provide accurate and comprehensive information.
