SHIMPENT & DELIVERY

Shipping Information

We ship our products(handcrafted items typically weighing 0.1-0.5kg per unit) from our warehouse in China to the following target markets: United States (USA), Canada, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Indonesia. All these markets are eligible for shipping, as there are no outright prohibitions on importing jewelry or bracelets like ours from China. However, please note the following:

Markets We Ship To: USA, Canada, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Indonesia.
Markets We Do Not Ship To: None from the listed ones. (Imports are allowed, but subject to local customs regulations, duties, and potential inspections. For Indonesia, while not prohibited, imports of jewelry may require additional documentation for high-value items to comply with restricted goods lists; we recommend checking with local authorities for shipments over $200 USD.)

We offer two main shipping options for small packages:

Economy Shipping (e.g., via China Post or equivalent standard postal services): Slower but more affordable, suitable for non-urgent deliveries.

Estimated times and costs are based on current 2025 rates for a typical 0.5kg package (adjustments may apply for exact weight/dimensions; rates can fluctuate due to fuel surcharges or global events). These are approximate and exclude any customs processing delays.

Market	Shipping Option	Estimated Delivery Time	Estimated Cost (USD for 0.5kg package)
USA	Economy	1-2 weeks	$5-10
Canada	Economy	1-2 weeks	$5-10
Taiwan	Economy	3-7 days	$3-8
Hong Kong	Economy	2-5 days	$2-5
Singapore	Economy	4-7 days	$4-7
Indonesia	Economy	5-10 days	$5-10

Notes on Shipping:

Times are from dispatch date and assume no customs delays. Actual delivery may vary based on carrier, location within the market (e.g., rural areas take longer), and holidays.
Costs are pre-tax and do not include insurance (optional add-on: $2-5 USD). We use reliable carriers like China Post for economy and DHL/FedEx for express.
Tracking is available for all options; full details provided upon shipment.

Customs Duties and Taxes

All customs duties, taxes, and import fees are the responsibility of the recipient (buyer) and are not included in our product prices or shipping costs. These are levied by the destination country’s customs authority upon arrival and must be paid before delivery. We declare items accurately as “jewelry/bracelets” with their true value to comply with regulations. Below is a summary of typical rates for importing bracelets from China (based on 2025 data; actual amounts vary by exact value, material, and local rules—use official calculators for precision):

USA: Duties typically 5.5-6% on jewelry value, plus potential additional tariffs (up to 30-120% on low-value imports from China under new 2025 rules). Also, a flat customs processing fee (~$100-200 for small parcels). Borne by buyer.
Canada: Duties 0-8.5% depending on type, plus GST (5%) and possible provincial taxes. Borne by buyer.
Taiwan: Duties calculated on CIF value (cost + insurance + freight), typically 0-10% for jewelry. VAT ~5-13%. Borne by buyer.
Hong Kong: No customs duties on most imports (free port), but excise taxes may apply to luxury items (rare for bracelets). Possible flat fees under new 2025 US-related reciprocal rules, but minimal. Borne by buyer if applicable.
Singapore: No import duties on jewelry, but GST (9%) applies if value exceeds S$400 (~$300 USD). Borne by buyer.
Indonesia: Duties 5-15% on jewelry, plus VAT (11%). Luxury tax may add up to 20% for high-value items. Borne by buyer; additional permits may be needed for shipments over certain thresholds.

We recommend checking with local customs (e.g., via official websites like CBP for USA or CBSA for Canada) for exact calculations. If duties are high, consider grouping orders to minimize per-item fees. For any issues, contact us—we can provide shipment details to assist.
