<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 4607513, member: 4373&quot;]Actually this post reminded me of a custom duty I had to pay a while back. It is slightly unusual and let me explain.</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought a mint set many years back. Believe that anything over $1000 was slapped with import tax.&nbsp; The item was only $300.</p><p><br /></p><p>Paid for the set and postage and had a message later from the seller that he under charged me for shipping and said he would charge me for it. I said that it is not an issue after I receive the set and check it out. </p><p><br /></p><p>Problem is when I received it, I was slapped with an absurd import tax fee and I couldn&#039;t understand why. Turns out the seller wrote $1000 and said that if it did get lost, he could at least claim it back. </p><p><br /></p><p>I had to pay 10% tax&nbsp; (if I recall correctly) and that we settle not claiming on the loss he had to pay for shipping. </p><p><br /></p><p>Thankfully today that set is worth way more what I paid since then.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
