It is already a well-known fact that diamonds are very expensive, but, at the same time, they are every girl’s dream. Diamonds have become the most prized possession among the female population, making the perfect gemstone to be fitted in an engagement ring. In addition to engagement rings being fitted with these precious gemstones, many other types of jewelry are also fitted with diamonds – earrings, bracelets, pendants, necklaces, watches – these are only a few examples of jewelry that can now be purchased with diamonds fitted in them.

Today, we want to take a look at extra fees that may be charged when shopping for diamond jewelry from James Allen, including sales tax.

James Allen does not charge any unexpected charges on any orders – this is an important fact to note should you be considering buying diamonds from this brand. There may, however, be extra charges placed upon an order, but the brand has provided a complete overview of such charges on their website.
Sales tax is one of the primary concerns that people are worried about.

In addition to sales tax that may be charged to a customer that reside in one of the three above-mentioned states, there is also the fact that international orders may be subject to customs fees. These fees are not charged directly by James Allen, but rather by the customs offices in the customer’s country. It is important for customers to understand this fact as James Allen cannot be held responsible for charges invoiced by the customs offices. Customs duties and taxes are charged by the majority of countries, and can add quite a hefty amount to the order’s total price. For example, when ordering loose diamonds to the value of $5,000 and having them shipped to the United States, the customs offices in the United States will charge an estimated amount of $1,000 for customs duties and taxes.
Conclusion
James Allen is a trusted brand when it comes to buying diamond jewelry – whether you need an engagement ring, wedding band or a set of diamond earrings, this brand caters to anyone. When it comes to added fees and charges, which is something that most people dread when buying expensive jewelry, James Allen provides an overview of any additional fees that may be added to a customer’s order. Sales tax may be charged in some cases, and customers requesting shipment outside the United States may also be charged extra fees by their customs office. Knowing these factors can avoid being charged such fees unexpectedly, and will allow you to provide for all costs connected to your purchase in your budget.
