Customs Duties and Taxes:

The quoted total does not include any taxes, VAT fees or other Duties charged at the country of delivery. Any fees charged at the country of delivery are not included in your payment to Open Adit™ Rocks & Minerals and are payable to the appropriate government agencies. Additional charges for customs clearance are sometimes required to be paid by you before you can take possession of your merchandise. Open Adit™ Rocks & Minerals has no control over whether your incoming package will be charged a fee, or the amount of the fee (if any). Additionally, when purchasing mineral specimen(s) from us, you are considered the importer and must comply with all laws and regulations of the country in which you are receiving the goods. Please be aware that packages and boxes are sometimes subject to inspection by customs authorities. Customs policies vary widely from country to country, so please contact your local customs office for information.

Insurance:

Insurance is optional and can be added to each specimen prior to purchase. If selected, insurance will be included in the specimen price upon check-out with the full specimen value being declared on the associated Customs forms. International customers who decline insurance may request to have the contents labeled "Geologic samples for scientific study. No commercial value". This request can be made by using the "Addition Information" section of the check-out form. We recommend that you insure the shipment for the full value of the specimens. By declining insurance, you assume all risk for loss or damage. Please see our return policy for additional information.
