Customs

All fees, taxes, VAT, or other import duties/penalties are the full responsibility of the buyer. GemSelect has no control over the customs policies of your country. Packages refused for these reasons are subject to a 10% restocking fee. In addition, return freight fees, brokerage charges and customs duties will be deducted from the total refunded amount.

Save on Taxes with Economy Shipping:

In general, for most countries, shipments sent by economy mail do not incur tax or duty. This is because most regular airmail is not checked by customs. However, for express courier shipments, import taxes are often collected upon delivery at a local VAT/GST rate. For some countries, an import duty rate may apply in addition to administrative fees.
