Please check out our other silver bullion coins available before purchase and save on postage. Nearly all of our coins have been sourced from either the Perth Mint, the Royal Australian Mint, or reputable Australian bullion dealers. The few mintages we have available that have not are checked by way of a Sigma Metalytics Precious Metal Verifier, weight and magnetic slide to ensure they are authentic. |
We have for now made these coins available for all international customers but with restrictions. Postage is a flat AU$40 for a single coin worldwide with $1 added for each extra item. We will refund $10 of the postage cost to Asian and NZ customers if requested. Please NOTE though with all overseas shipments! We are only willing to ship a maximum of THREE ounces to any first time buyer outside of Australia now due to changing customs/tariffs/VAT issues. Once an initial order gets through without issue to any buyer in any country we will always consider shipping higher quantities the next time around but contact us prior.
USA: With recent updates at AusPost as far as USA shipments go, we have finally been given a HS customs code 7118 90 00 55 (Other coins of legal tender: Other) where no tariffs will be charged. Any state taxes due will continue to be paid by the buyer through eBay. Since the recent changes to date we’ve had no issues and all packages have been getting through smoothly.
United Kingdom: VAT is paid through eBay if the total price is under GBP135, which at current prices means one or two ounces at best. If the total goes over that, be aware that you will have to pay VAT plus a handling fee before the package will be handed over. That should be just 5% based on the Customs HS code we now use, that being 9705 39 00 00, the correct official code for "Collections and collectors' pieces of numismatic interest (excluding over 100 years old)". Duplicate Invoices will be taped to any package for customs perusal and they will also be advised in a note attached that 5% is the correct VAT on limited mintage silver coins. If they insist on the full 20% VAT, challenge them and if still not successful use form BOR286 to claim a 15% VAT refund. We are here to help should any be needed.
European Union: VAT is usually paid through eBay if the total price is under EUR150. If the total goes over that, be aware that you will have to pay VAT plus a handling fee before the package will be handed over. European countries generally also have reduced VAT for the customs HR code 9705 39 00 00 but at varying rates up from 5% to 10%. We will attempt to use this HR code for all countries throughout Europe. As with UK sales, we will now make it clear on any invoice and attached note that this classification has a reduced VAT rate that should apply. We will do our best to ensure a smooth delivery process but at the same time we cannot guarantee it.
Canada and New Zealand unfortunately are given no opportunity through eBay to have these coins GST exempt as should in fact apply and there’s not a lot we can do unless changes are made through eBay itself. You can still purchase but we fully understand why you’d avoid this unfair impost as it stands. Other countries we will tackle as each order comes our way.
We will double check buyers and message them so that they have the opportunity to cancel an order should there be any doubts, but generally import duties, tariffs, taxes and other charges are the buyer's responsibility. We do reserve the right to cancel any order that does not fall within our guidelines but to avoid this possibility please contact us beforehand.
