Anyone else think that duties seem to be randomly applied to overseas online purchases? I'm sure there are rules somewhere, but I've yet to divine them.
After an 8 month wait my custom-build steel MTB frame is at last on its way to me from the USA. Does anyone have any idea what the import duty will be? - just a frame.
Price is .... gulp ..... $1,500, so I imagine the duty will be quite a lot.
Why not ask one of the military riders on the board to see if you can ship the bike via US Postal Service to the base and avoid duties period. If I were in Japan I would offer up the service but unfortunately I won't get there (Yokosuka) until the end of August.

Technically illegal, and honestly I'd only do it if I knew the person (not someone I'd just met). It would have to be shipped in their name.
You'd want a dog (drug sniffer) to go over it too before it had your name and address on it as a delivery destination.![]()
