Who pays import VAT and duty, and when?
A quote that is silent on taxes is incomplete. Ask whether duties are paid before dispatch or collected from you at the door, and up to what order value.
First wholesale order
Starting a jewelry business with $100–$300: what your first wholesale order buys — delivered free, duties included
A first wholesale order of $100–$300 buys roughly 27 to 78 different styles of stainless steel jewelry at one piece each — or fewer styles with three of each at the lower per-piece price — mixed across earrings, necklaces, bracelets and rings from 1,030 styles in stock. Orders of $99–$300 ship free to most countries with import duties and taxes included, so the whole budget goes into stock and nothing is paid at the door. Measured at checkout on 19 October 2026 with typical $2.80–$4.80 pieces: 27 styles came to $103.36, 54 styles to $200.63 and 78 styles to $290.58.

This page is for buyers opening a boutique, a market stall or an online store who want to know what a starter budget buys before contacting anyone. Every figure comes from the live catalogue and the live checkout: the public USD price on each product page, the price steps at 3 and 10 pieces, and the delivery charge the checkout quoted on real baskets to the US, the UK, Canada, Australia and the main EU countries. In short: below $99 of goods the live shipping rate applies — $9.51 to $16.00 on a $57.42 basket on 19 October 2026 — and from $99 delivery is free with duties included in most countries.

Delivery and duties

Shipping & duties
Delivery charge shown before you pay — free with duties included from $99 to $300 in most countries.
Tracked dispatch in 3–6 working days
Ready stock leaves Guangzhou within 3–6 working days of payment, with tracking; the transit estimate for your address is shown at checkout.
Delivery charge shown before you pay
From $99 to $300 of goods, delivery is free with import duties and taxes included for most countries. Checkout quotes the delivery charge for your address on the real basket and states next to it whether duties are included; within the duty-paid value limits nothing is collected at the door.
Mixed styles, one order
Earrings, necklaces, bracelets and rings from any of the 1,030 styles ship together on one order with a single delivery charge, so a starter budget is not split across several shipping fees.
Programme scope
Where a $100–$300 budget goes, by type of supplier
A wholesaler with stock in your country
Delivery is domestic and quick, but free shipping usually starts higher: the EU and UK wholesalers we checked on 19 October 2026 offer it from about €100 to €400 of goods, and those shipping from the EU into the UK leave import VAT and duty to the recipient.
A wholesale marketplace
Many brands in one basket, but the retailer is the importer: on the large marketplace we checked, import duties are the retailer's responsibility and import VAT is not covered.
Other suppliers shipping from China
Prices are low, but of the nine China-based wholesale sites we checked on 19 October 2026, most leave import duties to the buyer or sell duty-paid shipping as an option, and free shipping is either absent, starts around $200 or covers selected items only. One of the nine combines free shipping from about $100 with duties included, and only on items tagged for it.
Jewena
Delivery is free with duties included from $99 to $300 of goods in most countries, and every in-stock style counts towards it. Prices are public per SKU from one piece, and the checkout shows the landed cost before payment.
Sourcing notes
Five questions to ask any supplier before spending a starter budget
Does free shipping cover every item?
Some offers apply only to items tagged for them, or only to one country. Ask whether every style in your basket counts towards the threshold.
What is the minimum per style?
A per-style minimum of 6 or 12 pieces turns a $200 budget into a handful of designs. A one-piece minimum lets you open with more styles and reorder the ones that sell.
Will the reorder price be the same?
The second order matters more than the first. Ask whether the same SKU is reordered at the same published price tier.
How long until it ships?
Ask for the dispatch time from payment, separately from the carrier's transit time.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How much should I spend on my first wholesale jewelry order?
There is no minimum: any style can be bought from one piece. A budget of $100–$300 is enough to open a display — roughly 27 styles at $100, 54 at $200 or 78 at about $290, one piece each at typical $2.80–$4.80 prices (measured 19 October 2026). Within $99–$300 delivery is free with duties included in most countries, so spending at least $99 on goods means none of the budget goes to shipping. A common approach is one to three pieces per style, then reordering the styles that sell at the same published tier.
How many pieces of jewelry does $100, $200 or $300 buy?
At one piece per style and typical $2.80–$4.80 prices, the live checkout on 19 October 2026 priced 27 styles at $103.36, 54 styles at $200.63 and 78 styles at $290.58. Ordering 3 pieces of a style lowers its per-piece price by about 5%, and 10 pieces by about 8%, so the same budget buys slightly more pieces across fewer styles. Single pieces in the catalogue run $0.72–$33.46, median $3.81.
Do I pay shipping or import duties on a $100–$300 first order?
Not in most countries: from $99 to $300 of goods, delivery is free with import duties and taxes included, so nothing is collected at the door. A few countries start higher or stop lower, and the shipping page lists each country. Checkout always shows the delivery charge for your address before you pay and states whether duties are included; within the duty-paid value limits nothing is collected on delivery.
What does shipping cost on a smaller first order?
On 19 October 2026 a 15-style basket ($57.42 of goods) was quoted $9.51 to London, $9.91 to New York, $11.02 to Toronto, $11.62 to Sydney and $14.67–$16.00 to Madrid, Berlin, Paris and Milan, with duties included in every case. Adding about $42 of stock to reach $99 would have made delivery free to each of those cities.
Is there a minimum order or a minimum per style?
No. Ready stock has no order minimum, no per-style minimum, no account and no basket minimum: one piece of one style is a complete order. The 3- and 10-piece steps are volume pricing, not requirements.
How many pieces of each style should I order first?
It depends on the display, but a common approach is one to three pieces per style across 20 to 40 styles, then reordering the ones that sell. The same SKU is reordered at the same published tier, so a first order does not have to guess the winners.
Can I check the quality before spending the whole budget?
Yes. Samples are ordinary orders on the site: add one piece of each style you want to check and pay the listed price plus shipping. About $30–$50 usually covers 10–15 styles at typical prices. A first order of $99 or more ships free with duties included in most countries, so some buyers check quality and stock their first display in the same parcel.
Are import duties really included, and which countries does that cover?
Delivery is free in the countries of the free-delivery table: most start at $99, including the US, the UK, Canada, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands and Portugal, while a few start higher or have a lower upper limit — the shipping page lists every country. Within each range the cheapest duty-paid economy line is free and import duty and VAT are paid before the parcel leaves China; outside it, or for countries not listed, the live rate applies. Checkout quotes the delivery charge for your address and states before payment whether duties are included; within the duty-paid value limits nothing is collected on delivery.
How long does a first order take to arrive?
Ready stock is dispatched from Guangzhou within 3–6 working days of payment, with tracking. Transit depends on the destination and the line; checkout shows the estimate for your address before you pay.
Do I need a business licence, a VAT number or a wholesale account to order?
No. Prices are public in USD on every product page, and a ready-stock order needs no account, trade application or quote request.
