If I'm sending K24s from the UK to the US, would the buyer have to pay any additional costs?

I've never sent anything internationally before and just want to check everything out before hand

Thanks everyone

 

yes duty taxes... depending on the value you put... but more importantly package them very very very well... you can damage them before he even gets them.. seen it 4 times already... first of all.. cover the oil passages with take and put each turbo in a separate plastic garbage bag and tie them... then when in box make sure they dont drop to the bottom during shipment.. thats where they go bad... and make sure they do not bang against each other...

 

Thanks Mark- Hope all is well with you

What kind of duty would be paid?

 

if they go to California there will not only be duty but state tax as well both based on stated value

 

lower value lower duty tax...

 

Make sure the description matched the value.

"Used Scrap compressor assembly for rebuild"...etc. Be creative.

There are different rates for different items, but 10% would be a guess. (I've only shipped medical products...)

 

Hey Ant have you got your car running yet? If so it would be nice to update your other thread

ps no idea about sending stuff to US

 

Customs requires anything over $2500.00(or 2000.00 I always get the two mixed) to make a formal entry which could delay the process(for commercial). For non commercial, which I assume you are, I believe that number is $200.00 in declared value. If the wheels were worth "$150.00", duties would not be assessed and it would be treated as small parcel non commercial shipment, per the Code of Federal Regs, but dont quote me

If you are commercial and declare value of 2500, youll need to assign an HTS which determines duty rate

 

Not just yet - Been putting some serious hours in at work this week

Based on what I've heard and read so far I'm planning on pulling the fuel pump tomorrow - I'm suspecting a faulty 'u pipe' on the pump
