CUSTOMS; IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Shipments cannot generate invoices or payments at the destination, to avoid this it is very important to do things well in the DECLARATION OF CONTENT AND VALUE FOR CUSTOMS.

For this purpose, when you send your samples, the content must be declared as follows.

CONTENT; SAMPLES OF MINERALS FOR STUDY.

DECLARED VALUE; 3 €UROS / $ 3.

Never exceed this value, since the content is still unknown as well as its real value, and this must be adjusted to the simple customs procedure.

In the event that the shipment generates some type of invoice or payment at destination, it will be communicated to you for the payment of the same. Otherwise it will be returned to origin.
