DELIVERY TO FRANCE
Shipments of fine jewellery to France by law require a French broker to handle customs clearance. This means that when your shipment arrives in France, DHL will get in contact with you to appoint a French customs broker to complete the process (we can recommend a broker if required, if so please contact us). Your choice of broker will be responsible for taking charge of the shipment from DHL, clearing it from customs, and organising the delivery to your address in France. Please note that this broker will be at your expense. VAT will also be payable on each shipment. Please familiarise yourself with the clearance costs involved by contacting the French customs authorities, as we are unable to advise you or assist in this respect.

For deliveries to Europe, we use a fully insured priority courier service with DHL that endeavours to deliver the package in 1-5 days (pending customs delays).
