Which Online Bullion Dealers Provide International Shipping?

Retail bullion prices in the United States are among the lowest in the world. Premiums over spot on products like American Silver Eagles, gold bars, and silver bars and rounds are consistently lower than what buyers pay in Europe, Australia, or most of Asia. Even after factoring in the cost of international shipping, insurance, and any applicable customs duties, buying from a US-based online bullion dealer is often cheaper than purchasing domestically in many countries.

That price advantage drives a simple question: which online bullion dealers ship internationally?

The answer depends on the dealer, the destination, and the payment method. Some ship to dozens of countries with full checkout support. Others handle international orders only by phone or email. And several of the largest US dealers ship exclusively to domestic addresses. Here is how the major dealers tracked by FindBullionPrices.com break down.

Dealers With Full International Shipping Programs

These dealers support international checkout on their websites and ship to a broad list of countries. They handle customs documentation and offer insured delivery as standard.

Silver Gold Bull is headquartered in Calgary, Canada and operates separate storefronts for the US (.com) and Canada (.ca), along with localized sites for each of the 35 countries it ships to. As a Canadian company, Silver Gold Bull is a natural choice for Canadian buyers who want to avoid cross-border shipping entirely when ordering from the Canadian site. International buyers benefit from regional pricing, local payment options, and shipping rates calculated at checkout.

Dealers With Limited or Contact-Required International Shipping

These dealers will ship internationally, but the process is not fully automated through their website checkout. Buyers typically need to contact customer service to arrange the order.

Canada-Only International Shipping

US-Only Dealers

Several popular online bullion dealers ship only to addresses within the United States. International buyers who want to purchase from these dealers will need to use a US-based package forwarding service — a company that provides a US mailing address, receives the shipment, and then forwards it to the buyer’s country.

PIMBEX Metals ships to the lower 48 states and Hawaii. They explicitly exclude Alaska, Minnesota, and all international destinations.

What International Buyers Should Know

Buying bullion from a US dealer and having it shipped overseas is not complicated, but there are a few things worth understanding before placing an order.

Customs duties and taxes. Most countries impose import duties or value-added tax (VAT) on precious metals. In some countries, gold bars meeting certain fineness standards (typically .995 or higher) are exempt from VAT, while silver is taxed. The buyer is almost always responsible for these charges. They are collected at the border, not by the dealer.

Insurance. Reputable dealers insure international shipments, but the terms vary. Some include insurance in the shipping price; others charge a percentage of the order value (typically 0.15% to 0.65%). Ask about coverage limits and what happens if a package is lost or damaged in transit.

Payment methods. Many dealers restrict international orders to bank wire or cryptocurrency. Credit card acceptance for overseas orders varies. Wire transfers are generally preferred because they eliminate chargeback risk for the dealer and often qualify for lower product pricing.

Shipping times. Domestic US orders typically arrive in 3 to 7 business days. International shipments take 5 to 15 business days depending on the destination and carrier. Customs clearance can add additional time.

Package forwarding services. If the dealer you want to buy from does not ship internationally, a US-based package forwarding service can bridge the gap. These services provide a US mailing address, receive shipments on your behalf, and forward them to your country. Be aware that forwarding precious metals may complicate insurance claims if something goes wrong in transit, and some forwarding services restrict high-value shipments.

eBay as an Alternative

Many of the dealers listed above also sell through their eBay stores. eBay’s Global Shipping Program handles international delivery, customs forms, and import duties for a single upfront fee. This can simplify the process for international buyers, though premiums on eBay are sometimes higher than buying directly from the dealer’s website.
