We do not mean this as a slight against our
international neighbors. We simply do not have the staff, the time, or the
patience to deal with all the problems international customers are having with
their own countries' Customs agents and mail delivery personnel.
We can't keep up with all the restrictions on herbs. For example, one
combination herbal product we sell has been denied entry to Canada because of
one herb it contains; the same product has been denied entry into Australia
because of a different herb it contains!
Shipping charges will be emailed the exact amount of
purchase and preferred International orders and APO/FPO orders may have
additional shipping charges added.
Once an order is shipped, 1stChineseHerbs.com is not responsible for delays or
confiscations by Customs in your home country. If you feel your order has been
delayed please contact your local Customs office.
We send all packages going to Alaska, Hawaii, U.S. territories, and APO/FPO
addresses, via the United States Postal Service. Tracking is provided for postal
shipments. These may incur additional shipping charges.
You are responsible for all duties, taxes and tariffs, if applicable, on any
products ordered.

returned by customs as "illegal to import."

applied to orders returned by customs as "unclaimed".
