Hi everyone,
My quilt arrived.
It was posted with a declared value of U$100.00 + a shipping rate of approx. U$40.00
so the taxation for this import is U$ 90.00.
Iīm sorry I cant afford it now - in a few days itīll be returned to sender.
I apologize for that.
A piece of information on intl post office legislation on the grounds that it may be useful for someone someday:
Customs charge taxes on every parcel over U$50.00 , this amount comprises merchandise + shipping.
So, if you are sending anything abroad declare it as a handmade gift - no commercial value .
If you have to fill in an amount go with 20.00 to leave room for the shipping rate.
I split my online orders to never exceed 30.00 and do not have tax problems.
