Submissions to CGC Trading Cards from customers located outside of the UK may be subject to import duties upon arrival in the UK. Customers are responsible for all costs, including any import duties, incurred when shipping to CGC Trading Cards in the UK. (CGC Trading Cards covers all shipping costs between its London office and its US headquarters.)

The London office will not ship submissions to customers in the EU. Customers located outside of the UK will need to make their own arrangements to pick up collectibles from CGC Trading Cards' London office.

EU customers may also consider submitting directly to CGC Trading Cards' US headquarters. For more information, visit NGCcoin.com (for coins), PMGnotes.com (for paper money), CGCcomics.com (for comics, magazines and posters), CGCcards.com (for trading cards) or CSGcards.com (for sports cards).

Turnaround times reflect the average length of time that we think it will take to complete a submission received today under a given grading tier or service. Turnaround times for individual submissions can vary based on a variety of factors including whether the submission form was completed properly, the submission was packaged correctly, the collectibles require additional research and other reasons.

We strive to provide the most up-to-date turnaround time estimates on our website. For current turnaround times, please visit cgccards.uk/Services

Once your submission is in transit, your order cannot be cancelled or changed. We have already started working on your submission to perform your requested services. No refunds can be given after a submission has been delivered.

Please note that turnaround times are only estimates and are not guaranteed. For current services and fees as well as turnaround times, click here.

CGC Trading Cards processes credit card payments at the time a submission is received.

Yes, CGC images all graded cards after encapsulation. These images are available to view at CGCcards.uk/verify. For high-resolution images emailed to you, CGC Trading Cards offers digital imaging for cards submitted under any of CGC Trading Cards' grading and service tiers. This imaging service consists of accurate high-resolution images of the front and back of the card, shown encapsulated in its CGC Trading Cards holder. The fee is £5 and applies to all cards on the submission form.

If you remove your collectible from its CGC Trading Cards holder, you can return the label to CGC Trading Cards so that the collectible is no longer counted in the CGC Trading Cards Population Report. This helps to make the CGC Trading Cards Population Report more accurate.

Please note that removing a collectible from its CGC Trading Cards holder will void any guarantee provided by the company. If you would like it to be re-encapsulated by CGC Trading Cards, it would need to be submitted for grading as a raw (ungraded) collectible.
