Customs Duties and Taxes
If your parcel arrives without any customs inspection or additional procedures, you will not be required to pay any extra taxes or fees.
However, in the event that your shipment is selected for customs inspection, you may be required to pay customs duties and taxes to receive your parcel. Should this occur, we kindly ask you to pay the required amount and provide us with the receipt of your payment. Upon receiving proof of payment, we will promptly process a refund for the customs duties and taxes you paid.
We understand that dealing with customs can be a concern, and we are here to support you every step of the way.
Worry-Free Delivery by SEEL
Worry-Free Delivery is an optional shipping protection service provided by our partner SEEL, available at checkout. If purchased, your order may be protected against eligible shipping issues, including:
- Loss — Your item(s) were sent out but were lost while in transit
- Damage — Your item(s) arrived damaged due to carrier handling
- Theft — Your package shows as delivered, but you did not receive it
- Delay — Your package was not received within the expected timeframe
Claims are handled directly by SEEL through the SEEL Resolution Center and are subject to SEEL's terms, timelines, and documentation requirements.
Order Processing
All orders are processed Monday through Friday, excluding weekends and holidays. Most orders ship within 2–3 business days after payment confirmation. During peak seasons, promotional periods, high-volume periods, or for certain pearl jewelry that requires additional checking, processing may take up to 5 business days. Orders placed on weekends or holidays will be processed on the next business day. Once your order ships, you will receive a shipping confirmation email with your tracking number.
