Duties & Taxes for EU Countries
For orders shipped to the European Union, GemSelect covers applicable import duties and taxes when Standard Shipping is selected for eligible EU destinations where our Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) service is available. This means there are no additional import duties or taxes to pay upon delivery.
Standard Shipping with duties and taxes included is currently available to:
Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Portugal and Romania.
For other EU countries where DDP service is not currently available, any applicable import duties, taxes or customs charges must be paid by the recipient upon delivery.
Please note that this policy applies only to Standard Shipping. Express shipments are not covered by our duties and taxes policy and may be subject to import duties, VAT and courier/customs administration fees payable by the recipient.
Customs Duty and Import Tax
Except where GemSelect specifically states that duties and taxes are included, properly declared shipments may be subject to customs charges and tax. Import fees can vary depending on the destination country and shipping method. Express shipments may be subject to import taxes, VAT, customs duties, brokerage charges or administration fees. Unless specifically stated otherwise, all such fees, taxes, VAT, import duties or penalties are the responsibility of the buyer. GemSelect has no control over the customs policies of your country. Packages refused for these reasons are subject to a 10% restocking fee. In addition, return freight fees, brokerage charges and customs duties will be deducted from the total refunded amount.

LOST OR DAMAGED PACKAGES
In the event a parcel is received with damaged packaging, do not accept the package! Refuse delivery, make a report with the courier, and contact us immediately!
If you have already signed for or received the package, please do not open the package. Take several photos of the exterior of the parcel and then send them to us by email at help@gemselect.com. This will allow us to assist you with either returning the items for exchange or refund, or we can help decide whether to open the parcel while providing evidence of the condition of the product/s. In most cases, the items are very well-packed and remain undamaged.
If you do not receive your standard economy airmail order within 45 working days, please contact us, so that we can open a claim with the post office. Should the claim result in confirmation of loss, we are more than happy to offer full refunds or replacement items if available. Claims take 7-14 days to process through local post offices as our post office must communicate with your post office.
