I've had a couple of enquiries from US members here, requesting clarity on the new Customs Duties - which may or may not be applicable on my 24xx series Tekscope kits, which are shipped from here in Jerusalem, Israel.

For PERSONAL imports, which is EXACTLY what these are, when you buy the kits from me, there is what's called in Government language, a "De Minimus" level of US$800.

That means that any PERSONAL import (in this case, up to 3 kits) from Israel to the USA is EXEMPT from US Customs Duties, when the value is less than US$800, and 17% when the value is more than US$800.

Commercial imports (which these kits are not, unless you buy a number of kits for a commercial enterprise) from Israel are taxed at 17% from the first Dollar, irrespective of the value.

So, the bottom line is that if you (a US Resident) buy 1 or 2 kits from me, valued at about $70 each, then you are exempt from the new US Customs Duties.

I hope this helps to clarify the issue!

Dear Menecham:

Very timely note, suggest to repost on Tekscopes2 and BUY/SELL forums. Perhaps also EEVblog?

We have seen congress in US proposing removing the deminimus exemption. The entire customs/tarrifs is in flux.

Chel the CBP/USPS/Fed Ex for latest info.

Our personal and corporate inports/shipping expericance

1/ The declaration of CoE, Harm # and exact descr is critial to get fast and correct clearance.

2/ Imports of USA CoE are NOT tarriffed by USA regardlss fo the export country,

3/ The reciever in USA may have a tax/tarriff levied by the shipper/US CBP, wheri must be paid before seivery.

4/ The amount is ENTIRELY at the descretion of the government office/worker that clear the shipment, and varies randomly......

High value shipments arealways examined , small packages and lw value MAY be taxed.

Best plan: Fill exact customs decalr with carefully choosen HARM number and country of origin with descr matche HARM # exactly.

Just my experince since 1970s of internation shipping


SHALOM!

Hello,
For all those of you new to customs - in Europe we had it for 20 years.

Small video is at <> which should answer some questions.
