International Shipping
When shipping a product to a customer outside of the united states, crossing a border into another country, the package is subject to an extra element: customs and duties. Customs is the government border agency that reviews all inbound and outbound shipments. Specialty Diamond handles the paperwork for you, though please be advised that the government border agency is a standalone agency that has the ability to hold or delay a shipment, refuse a shipment and return it, or assign a duties fee. While we make every effort to assist with the smooth processing of your shipment through Customs, returns and duties remain a possibility.
