We were successfully importing over the last couple of months coins and medals duty free under the known exemption regarding informational materials.</p><p><br /></p><p>After the European Union and US Trade and Tarif Deal from July 27th of this year. we at Künker still think strongly that all collector coins and medals (except of Russian and Chinese origin) <b>are not subject to US import tariffs</b>.</p><p><br /></p><p>The actual import into the US is still done by the shipping companies or a broker (i.e. FEDEX) in the name of the receiving party.</p><p><br /></p><p>For shippers with dedicated brokers that have experience in valuable shipments (i.e. Malca Amit, Brinks etc.), we have not had any issue of being charged an import fee after July 27th. This is good news especially for higher value shipments, that need a special broker service like Malca Amit to begin with. For lower value shipments we continue to use mostly FEDEX. Those shipments are under the same legislation and should be import free, but we did have smaller shipments being charged the import duty in the past. Those cases were from or knowledge revisited and contested with the shipper.</p><p><br /></p><p>The difference in price for the shipping cost is of course drastic between firms like Malca Amit and FEDEX, so please contact our customer service team if you wish to have your goods shipped not by FEDEX and they can provide you a quote. The standard shipping costs remain as before dependent on insurance value, weight and workload within the shipping and customs department. </p><p><br /></p><p>In any case, we will do our best to also import the lower value shipments free of import charge but we want you to make the most informed bidding decision from the info we have combined.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>For this sale we would go ahead and ship the items at your requested address as usual right away after the sale. If you wish to speak to our shipping experts for other options, please do not hesitate to contact us.&nbsp; </b></p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you very much for your consideration and your trust in us.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Best regards from Osnabrück,</b></p><p><b>Your Künker team</b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
