We ship to the USA via USPS or UPS with DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) options available on UPS and USPS—meaning we can prepay all import duties, taxes, brokerage, and customs clearance fees upfront (buyer pays no extra at delivery). Delivery time: 10–12 days via USPS, 8–10 days via UPS.
We ship to the EU via UPS in 3–7 business days (faster express options available).
We ship to Canada with UniUni for fast delivery! 8-15 days
We use Asendia in cooperation with Swiss Post for faster deliveries to other countries (approx. 10–18 days).
For Australia, we now use Skynet for fast delivery (10–18 days).
Many international buyers (especially in the AU/CA/EU/UK) experience low or zero import duties on loose natural gems like these Zambian emeralds due to favorable HTS classifications and trade rules. However, customs fees vary by country/value—most AU/CA/EU/UK buyers report $0–$200 extra total (including any processing) without DDP.
Tracked and insured shipping included. Estimated delivery time varies by service and destination (faster express options available at additional cost via UPS, often 3–7 business days to EU or 8–10 days to USA). Buyer responsible for any duties/taxes unless DDP is selected.
