Pre-order Items

If your order includes product/s designated on the respective listing page as "Pre-order" your entire order will ship when the pre-ordered product becomes available.

Import Duties, Tariffs, or other Fees for International Shipments

Many countries have de minimis exemptions for imports, meaning that goods under a certain value are exempt from import duties, tariffs, and taxes. The specific thresholds and regulations vary significantly by country, and can change at any time. 

The Bamboo Seed only ships small lots of seeds (we do not sell seeds in wholesale or bulk volumes). These smaller shipments with an associated lower monetary value typically fall well below most international de minimus exemptions, and are not subject to additional import fees. 

The specific thresholds and regulations vary significantly by country, and can change at any time. It is not possible for us to know the current import regulations for every country worldwide. If you are unsure about your country's customs regulations and potential surcharges, please contact your country's relevant agency directly before placing your order.
