Wholesale Jewelry Importation

There are several factors that need to be considered when importing jewelry or any other goods into the United States. Listed below are some concerns that you will have to learn about and address in your importation business.

When jewelry is imported, there are additional costs, such as high shipping costs, that you may not be prepared to pay. There are also other issues to consider as well.

Customs is a major issue, because some materials that come from endangered animals are outlawed in the United States – ivory for example. When importing jewelry, you need to be sure that all of the materials that make up the jewelry can be legally imported.

The possibility of not getting what you paid for is another consideration that you must think about. If you order from someone outside of the United States – where the United States has no legal jurisdiction – there won't be anything you can do if you are ripped off. If you are importing jewelry wholesale, make sure that you are dealing with a reputable company.

Importing jewelry is a risky business. There are also various jewelry manufacturers in the United States where you can source your stocks. Although it would cost more to buy inside the US, ultimately, importation will have the higher cost. By the time you add shipping to the imported jewelry, it will probably cost more. However, by having imported jewelry on hand, you can sell them at higher prices than those made in the USA.
