Was it sent from within the States?.. They might ask to add taxes (NY citizens pay extra taxes on stuff, no?).

I recently got hit with a customs bill on a fairly large IH order that came to my place.
Apparently, UPS covered it then billed me.
The tariff rate on a cotton t-shirt is 16.25%!They took the declared values straight off the invoice that was attached to the package. I'm pretty sure you have to declare a value so There's probably something on there…

What is the cheapest material I can say it is? It is actually a nylon type outer jacket…
-
Thank you guys for the thoughts. Gonna go with Seul's advice ad see what they have and are looking for. Think I am going to try the "gift from friend" route…
-
No way?!?!? On one item?!?!?
-
Oh LIE I will! If they ever pick up the phone…

Custom fees really suck. If I buy a shirt from outside the European Union, I have to pay 12 % customs and 25 % VAT on top of the shirt's value (value incl. shipping and aforementioned customs!) + a fee of 30 $. A 250 $ shirt from the US would end up costing me 380 $. It's absolutely ridiculous, and they catch it 95 % of the time.

Gee, I thought Canadian custom was bad.

When I bought my pair of Tricker's, customs was surprisingly reasonable- about $13. But then DHL charged me nearly $30 in fees, the bastards. International purchases are such a frigging crapshoot.

+1 Chris, last jacket I ordered from Aero UPS hit me with $34.50 in customs fees. When I ordered my wallet
from Japan about two weeks ago no customs fees. That was sent by mail though and it sat in customs for
two days…Go figure. :-\ -
I got you one better…
- if people send me a package through 1st Class Int'l Mail (cheapest USPS service), and fill out the custom form correctly: no charge
- if people do the same but use Priority Int'l Mail, I receive a 10 € fee stàndard
So people: I know 1st Class doesn't come with a tracking #, but please USE it if I ask you to!.. ::)
