          INTERNATIONAL ORDERS - CUSTOM DUTIES/ IMPORT VAT /TAX AND/OR DUTIES RULES

          IF YOU LIVE IN THE EU: After July 1, 2021, orders equal to or less than 150 EUR have VAT applied to them, and orders greater than 150 EUR have import VAT and duties applied. With other words - your country is charging you  upon arrival of your order. These charges are not included in our sales pricing!!

          • Please be aware that you may have to pay customs fees and or duties, these fees are set by your government and are the responsibility of the buyer.
          • Buyer (Customer outside the USA)  is responsible for VAT and any other customs import fees/custom clearance duty. It is your responsibility to know your countries import rules and regulations. This would include knowing whether or not you may need to pay for any applicable customs duty and/or import VAT/ taxes  that may be levied on your purchase once it reaches your country. International buyer is also responsible for knowing whether or not you can legally import your purchased item. (some countries have restriction on silver and other precious metal jewelry and certain gemstones)
          • These fees and charges are normally collected by the delivering freight or shipping company or when you pick the item up, do not confuse them for additional shipping charges.
          •  COSMICDEVA cannot control and is not responsible for any duties/taxes/fees applied to your order/ package. 
          • Items will be marked as jewelry, and it is illegal for me to mark them as a gift.
          • The general amount for the duties and taxes fee is approx. about 20% of the dollar amount of the merchandise. However, this is just a general guideline and may vary depending on the country to which the order was shipped.
          • For international shipments, I do enclose a printed receipt with the package. 
          • Please allow 10-15 business days for delivery, but it can take up to 6-10 weeks for your item to arrive depending on the destination country, customs passage, and various other factors like weather, holidays, and postal strikes. Please be patient while your item is in transit.

          If you are living in the UK it is VERY likely that you will have VAT and royal mail fees and or other import fees to pay, we cannot and will not reimburse you for these fees.

          UK: the country does not allow import of any jewelry that contains precious stones or precious metals ( Silver, Sterling Silver, Gold, Platinum etc)  from the US to the UK using USPS (United States Postal Service) so we have to use FEDEX OR UPS with additional shipping cost!!!!!

          • Unfortunately, we cannot ship to countries where tracking is not available and or insurance is not available.

          We do our best to avoid errors by verifying the shipping information with every customer in the order confirmation sent immediately after purchase.
