Important Note on Tariffs & Limits for International Customers
We are no longer able to ship precious metal (Sterling silver, gold filled and solid gold) rosaries, chaplets, tenners and bracelets to international destinations. These pieces are catagorized as "jewelry," and are subject to confiscation by the customs services of many countries. We are happy to ship red bronze rosaries, chaplets, tenners and bracelets overseas.
International shipments are subject to the tariff schedule of your country. Tariffs, especially to Great Britain and the E.U. can be very high. It's the responsibility of the customer to know the tariffs involved for the value of your package before purchasing and shipment. Please do NOT write requesting that we fill out customs forms for a lower value, as this is prohibited by law. Thank you for your understanding.
