International Shipping:  If you are an international customer, you may incur import duties and taxes, which are levied once the package reaches your country. Additional charges for customs clearance are your responsibility; Blue Water Ships Stores cannot predict these; you should contact your local customs office for information.

To properly process an international order, please be aware that Blue Water Ships Stores will ship only as far as a major port address in the United States.  It will be your responsibility to make all payment arrangements with a carrier of your choice to ship from that major US port address to the destination you choose.

Please make these arrangements with a carrier and advise us of the complete shipping address of the port you choose. We will ship to the desired address upon receipt of payment in full.  Payment can be made in the form of a wire transfer or credit card -- Visa or MasterCard only. 

If you are using a credit card, the shipping address must be an authorized ship to address registered with your credit card company.  Kindly fax a copy of both sides of the credit card you would like to use for payment of this order and include a copy of a government-issued photo identification document. Please also include the complete name, address, phone number, fax number and email address (if available) of the issuing bank for this credit card.  Additionally, in order to verify your account with the credit card company, we will need the complete billing address and full name as it appears on the credit card. 

Once we receive and confirm all payment and delivery information as outlined above, we will bill your credit card and ship the order to the US port address that you designate. 

With the shipment of your order, we will include one original invoice and two copies of that invoice.   

In addition to the pre-payment of your order and freight charges from our store to the designated US port, you will be responsible for any and all other applicable documentation, taxes, tariffs, duties, import fees, transit fees, handling fees, freight costs and/or delivery fees.
