About Tax

“Do I have to pay tax on my order from Picjewel?”

Maybe. It depends on the specific country where the goods are received.

Taxes are a very complex issue and vary by country/region. Some countries/regions make it easy to import products with very few restrictions and no taxes. Other countries have very strict restrictions and high import taxes. Before you start importing large quantities of products into your country, you need to research the laws and import practices in your country (or the specific destination country you are selling directly to).

Please read the following notes for some basic background:

Import duties and sales taxes levied in your country

Depending on the specific country/region, some customs will levy duties on specific types of imports, in specific quantities and values. Customs in other countries may not apply this practice to certain goods. It is your responsibility to know the specifics of your country.

Whatever you order from Picjewel, we will ship it to you. We do not enforce any regulations, so it is up to you to make sure that the merchandise you purchase from us complies with your country's import regulations.

The category and type of merchandise you import will usually affect whether or not you are required to pay tax or the amount of tax you pay.

Obviously, most countries prohibit the importation of certain categories of hazardous or restricted goods. Your country may also have other specific restrictions on certain items, such as spy cameras and jammers. Please research your country's information carefully.

Many countries impose two taxes when you import from overseas: sales tax (VAT) and import duties. Generally, the rates of these two taxes are not high, and the amount of tax payable depends on the value of the goods (and sometimes the cost of shipping).
