Just a short note on import duties. On my first new BF cab, a One10 tweed, I never received a bill from FedEx for the import duty. It may still show up. On my second new cab, the above pictured Eight10, I received the bill for "Customs Duty" today, 12 days after the cab arrived. It was 1.2% of the insured (I believe) value, or $26.77, plus a $7 "Advancement Fee" which I suppose is FedEx's charge for handling the transaction. For $7, they are losing money. The 1.2% duty was what I was expecting based on a Google search on the Fed. Govt. website. Very minimal compared to sales tax anywhere around here.
