Import Duties and Sales Tax (VAT)

Sales Tax / VAT

Our prices for customers inside the European Union include 19% VAT (aka sales tax). Customers from other countries (i.e. USA, Canada, Australia, Japan, Russia etc.) do not have to pay VAT. They only have to pay our lower export price excluding VAT.

During the checkout-process our shopping cart software automatically detects and calculates the tax rate which is applicable for your country. Before confirming your order you will be given the final price / grand total (including shipping & handling charges).

Import Duties

Import Duties do not apply to shipments inside of the European Union.

Import duties vary from country to country.

Our information indicates that U.S. import duty on jewelry is less than 3% of the total declared value. FedEx will charge the import duty on behalf of US customs upon delivery. You may contact U.S. Customs for its estimated import duty. All our shipments to the USA and Canada include a proper invoice.

Please understand that we do not control import duty charges. They are the responsibility of the buyer and are not included in our value pricing nor shall they be refunded by us if an item is returned.

Special Note for Customers from the USA: US customs clearing is normally made either in Louisville KY or in New Jersey. To prepare customs clearing in the shortest possible time, usually the package with the paperwork is still in transit, when the person in charge at US Customs is working on it. So employees working on customs clearing don't have access to the package and may call and ask for paperwork. Please assure them, that everything they might need to verify the possible import duties is included in the shipment.

You can order with confidence: We offer a 14 day no hassle return policy. If you are not fully satisfied or if you don't like the item, simply send it back to us. We will refund you the full purchase price of the item.

24 Month Warranty

When submitting a warranty claim please have your order number on hand. Please send the product back to the address listed on our homepage. Any required repairs and shipping and handling back to you are covered by our warranty.
