Tibetan skull malas are a type of Buddhist mala that are commonly used in the practice of meditation. These malas originated in Tibet, and have since been used as a way to contemplate the meaning of life and death during meditation. And help the user to develop a deeper understanding of the impermanence of life.

This Skull Bone Mala Tibet is made from old hand-carved Tibetan and strung with durable stretchy cord.

In Tibet, malas made of skull beads and skulls are symbolic of many important aspects of Tibetan culture, and play a huge role in the cultivation of the culture. These skull beads are usually made from different types of animal bone, wood or gemstones. And each of these elements are symbolic of many important things as well.

To the Tibetan people, skull beads are symbolic of honoring the wild beasts, such as the Tibetan yak, which have served them and their livelihood. Through this, the Tibetans may also proudly wear their skull beads as a way of being reminded of the importance of honoring and serving their neighbors. Lastly, these skull beads help the Tibetan people to remain grounded and intoned with their natural world. By reminding them that their lives are short-lived and subject to the laws of impermanence, they live joyful lives filled with gratitude in each moment.

Import Taxes & Customs Duties

United States Import Taxes & Customs Duties

We pay all import duties, tariffs and customs clearance fees before your parcel reaches you. The price at checkout is the final price, and nothing is owed to the carrier at delivery.

What we cover on US orders:

Import duties and tariffs
Customs clearance and brokerage fees
Any carrier disbursement or advancement fees

If a carrier ever asks you to pay a customs charge on one of our parcels, do not pay it. Contact us with the notice and we will resolve it directly with the carrier.

Import Taxes & Customs Duties for Other Countries

We only cover import charges on orders shipped to the United States. For all other countries, the buyer pays any import taxes and duties.

Here's why. We can do this because we're based in the US. This allows us to stay up to date on changes to US import taxes and duties, and since most of our orders ship here, we know what to expect.

Other countries are different. Every country sets its own import taxes and duties, and the rules are different everywhere. The amount can depend on the type of product, the value of your order, and your country's tax rates. These rates can also change without much notice. Since we can't know the exact charge ahead of time, we aren't able to cover it.

What you may need to pay on non-US orders:

Import duties and taxes, such as VAT or GST
Customs clearance and brokerage fees
Any carrier handling fees

The carrier usually collects these charges before or at delivery. To find out what you might owe, contact your local customs office before you order.
