International Duties & Taxes

Based in pure New Zealand, we are proud to serve customers from all over the world. In order to make your shopping experience hassle free, we have created a guide on relevant duties and taxes below.
New Zealand

For all domestic orders, the amount on estimates is inclusive of 15% GST and there are no additional taxes to pay.

If you are travelling overseas from New Zealand and are flying out of Auckland then you can also avail the option of buying the ring duty free. For more information on collecting your purchase duty free from airport, please contact one of our consultant by mailing us on design@nolanandvada.com


United States

For all the shipments to US, relevant duties and taxes are prepaid and there are no additional duties or taxes to pay.

We ship with FedEx on "DDP" (Delivery Duty Paid) terms which means any potential taxes or duties are levied on us and we are responsible for any additional charges.


Australia

For all orders to Australia, relevant duties and taxes are prepaid and there are no additional duties or taxes to pay.

Since Australia-New Zealand has a free trade agreement in place and our rings are manufactured in New Zealand, the 5% import duty is waived off on the ring. In regards to the 10% GST, our estimates or pricing already includes GST.

We pay for any GST or clearance charges by shipping with FedEx on "DDP" (Delivery Duty Paid) terms which means any potential taxes or duties are levied on us as a shipper and we are responsible for additional charges.

From start to finish, Nolan & Vada have been extremely helpful, informative, professional & caring in the design of my peach sapphire diamond ring. Unbelievable that such a delicate process can be so seamlessly handled via virtual communication. My ring is perfect, the quality of the workmanship exceeds all expectations.

The experience with Nolan and Vada has been exceptional! Their consultant helped me with my custom engagement ring design from start to finish. Shel was prompt with all her responses and took the time to walk me through the process. We live in Australia, but we are confident with this jeweller and would bring our business back for many more future opportunities. We highly recommend this jeweller A+++

Nolan and Vada were fantastic. I had a very specific custom design that I wanted and the design team was able to help me make it a reality within my budget and on a prompt timeline. The end result is the ring of my fiance's dreams, with a stunning stone and impeccable build quality. Nolan and Vada's international shipping is the fastest I have ever experienced. Truly a fantastic service that I would gladly recommend to anyone.

I wanted something completely unique for my engagement ring and I am so glad I found Nolan and Vada. You can tell their jewelers and team have a lot of experience. This is how you would expect the process of designing and ordering an engagement ring to be; exciting, easy, and smooth. The details, craftsmanship, and quality in the ring look beautiful. I love it and I can’t wait to show it off.

When my girlfriend (now fiance!!) told me she wanted something a bit more unique than a diamond, I had a really hard time finding the ideal stone & ring. I then found Nolan and Vada and was able to put together the perfect ring for her. I was skeptical purchasing a ring from overseas but after reading reviews I was confident about purchasing from them! My fiance loves her ring and can't stop talking about it and how unique it is. Thank you everyone at Nolan and Vada!
