Customs
|
- Time estimates: All shipping time estimates, including for guaranteed services, are dependent on normal customs clearance.
- Declaration of goods: For most countries, the contents of our shipments are described as "craft supplies" on the customs form. For Germany, the contents are listed as "incomplete or unfinished articles of costume jewelry." Customs receives a copy of your invoice with full description, country of origin, quantity and price for each item.
- Brokerage fees, taxes & duties may apply to your order. Some countries apply charges to certain imported goods. The customer is responsible for all brokerage fees, customs duties, and taxes. Rings & Things does not charge, or profit from, these fees. Shipments valued at less than $1500 (USD) going through the Post Office often do not get taxed. The Post Office does not charge brokerage fees.
- The exchange rate is determined by the financial establishment handling the transaction at the time the payment is collected.
- Certificates of origin: Goods made in NAFTA countries (USA, Canada & Mexico) are tax and duty free to import into another NAFTA country. If you do not live in a NAFTA country, but will sell your goods in one, a certificate of origin can be useful when you export your goods. We can include certificates of origin with orders sent to non-NAFTA countries upon request. For UPS orders shipping to Canada and Mexico, we automatically include a certificate of origin.
- Harmonized codes: Shipments to Canada and Mexico have Harmonized Codes for each item, similar to a UPC code. These codes are made from a universal item/commodity code. The last four digits of the codes we use are specific to Canada. We can include Harmonized Codes on any shipment, if requested.
- Value: The cost of your merchandise with no added fees is the total value declared to customs on all orders. For security reasons, FedEx and UPS display the value in bar codes, so it can be seen only by the shipper and customs.
- If you have customs questions, call your local customs office. They have the most current and specific information for the country where you are.

Territorial Islands
|
Puerto Rico, Guam and the Virgin Islands: To see the best shipping options during checkout, choose United States as your country. The Post Office (US Postal Service) or $7.95 Flat Rate are typically the best choices for shipments to Puerto Rico, Guam, the US Virgin Islands and the British Virgin Islands. The Post Office treats these destinations as domestic deliveries.

Canada
|
Please note the following details regarding shipments from Rings & Things to Canadian destinations.
- Express Mail International is NOT owned by Canada Post, so shipments to a PO Box in Canada will be delayed due to the necessary transfer between carriers.
- UPS Standard looks less expensive than Post Office Priority Mail, but UPS charges brokerage fees at the time of delivery for Standard service. The Post Office does not charge brokerage fees. (Other UPS services already include brokerage fees in the upfront rate).
- "Small value shipments" of under $1500 (USD) typically take less time to go through customs, and are often not taxed if sent via the Post Office.
- Customs: The declaration of goods for our shipments to Canada is "craft supplies". More info. Please see details about exchange rates, possible duties, Certificates of Origin, and 10-digit Harmonized codes listed above with customs information.
- Shipment of hazardous items: Packages containing chemicals (noted with HZ1, HZ2 or HZ3 icons), can be shipped to most parts of Canada, but only via UPS Standard (which charges brokerage fees). Contact us if you have questions about whether we can ship these items to your address.
- Tax ID: You do not need a reseller permit (tax number / resale tax ID) to order from us. Orders picked up or shipped to Washington State addresses will be charged sales tax unless you have a WA State Reseller Permit or Multijurisdiction Sales & Use Tax Certificate on file with us.
