INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING

We do not supply entry documents, veterinary certificates, APHIS certificates, or any other documents besides the standard shipping declaration documents when shipping international orders. It is up to (you) importer to first determine if products or ingredients are, or are not restricted for importation into your country. Certain food products have ingredients that may be restricted for importation into certain countries (i.e. beef or blood ingredients). If your order is rejected at the time of entry into your country, and the products are returned back to us, we can issue a full refund on the returned products, but not the shipping costs. If the products are destroyed or confiscated by your customs upon entry, we will not refund the cost of the products or the shipping costs. If you are unsure of a product’s import restrictions in your country, and you do not wish to risk the chance of rejection, then we suggest that you do not attempt importation.
