Three things that actually matter
- Always declare actual purchase price — customs has access to retail pricing databases
- Selectido's optional 'jewelry handling' includes tamper-evident packaging + signature on delivery
- Some countries (India, Brazil) require import permits or assay certificates for gold over a threshold
Customs & duty
EU: 2.5–4% duty + VAT. UK: same. Brazil: 18–25%. India: 12.5% IGST + 10% duty on gold. UAE: 5% + 5%.

Frequently asked
Can Selectido forward jewelry?
Yes — within applicable carrier and destination-country rules. Restricted items (firearms, hazmat, controlled substances) are blocked at intake.
Will customs hold my package?
Depends on destination + declared value + category. Selectido pre-screens shipments against destination rules to flag likely holds before you pay shipping.
Can I consolidate multiple orders?
Yes. 60 days free storage, repack into one outbound shipment. Saves 30–60% on shipping for most categories.
