When you order, we don't add taxes, VAT, or other hidden charges., you pay what you see on the invoice, such as goods subtotal ,shipping cost. Nothing about taxes or other hidden charges is added.
However, In many countries you have to pay taxes on imported goods. Sometimes goods under a certain value, or in certain categories, do not incur taxes. Different countries usually have different rules about the taxes.
Usually, the rules in a country are often applied differently in different places(some other countries or areaes, and sometimes rather randomly.
We are a Chinese jewelry wholesaler and retailer, and your order will be shipped from China. Thus, anything you buy from us is going to be imported as far as your country's customs are concerned.
HOWEVER, usually it is not available for us to know the rules, regulations, customs, loopholes, schemes, systems, paperwork, codes, laws, traditions, practices, or rulings of any country.
THEREFORE, WE CAN'T AND WON'T OFFER ADVICE ABOUT TAXES IN YOUR COUNTRY.
You have to be aware of the possiblities to pay additional taxes, and what you have paid to us don't involve any of taxes or other hidden charges. It is your responsibility to find out that information before you place a order.
If you have to pay import taxes and/or additional duties and sales taxes (e.g. VAT in the UK), then you would have to pay that to the courier upon receipt of the parcel(s) from China. HOWEVER, we can't calculate this for you and you can't pre-pay it. If you are drop-shipping or sending a gift item to someone else, please make sure that they are aware of the possibility of having to pay taxes when receiving the parcel(s).
If you order items from us and feel that you've been unexpectedly 'stung' with taxes at your end, please don't blame us. However, you can tell us what the charges are, and we will try to find out if there is any way we can do to reduce them. We will help to save your budget when you order, but please be kindly informed that is only our service, not our responsibility.
What is gold filled? Gold filled or gold overlay is a process of pressure bonding a thin layer of gold to a base metal core (usually brass). Gold filled (unlike gold plating) has an actual layer of gold, giving it more value and making it tarnish-resistant.
