Since the UK Hallmarking Act 1973, any silver article weighing more than 7.78g sold in the UK must carry an approved UK hallmark. Items imported from Indonesia must be sent to a UK Assay Office (e.g., London, Birmingham, Sheffield) for hallmarking before resale. We can help coordinate this — ask us.
For orders over $2,500 USD (US de minimis threshold), a licensed customs broker can ensure correct HS classification and duty calculation. We're happy to provide reference documents to support your broker's filing.
Always declare the full commercial value. Under-declaring is illegal and can result in seizure of goods. Our invoices always reflect the true transaction price.
We can arrange Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) shipping for select markets — meaning we handle all duties and taxes so the package arrives fully cleared. Ask us if DDP is available for your country.
In most countries, small sample shipments under a de minimis threshold (e.g., US $800, EU €150, AU AU$1,000) are imported duty-free. We recommend starting with a sample order to test product quality before placing full orders.
