Sir Punk said:how much are duties and do you pay them for every guitar you buy from japan?
I was never charged a duty on any imported guitar, until about the end of 2006
all of my guitars come thru US Customs at O'Hare International, which is where they are assesed a duty
they usually burn me on 9 of 10 guitars aka 90% of my imports
8.7% is their usual duty
for a $1K guitar, that's $87, plus a $5.35 Postal Fee, and a $5.50 Customs Processing Fee.
Won't get much more detail than that :wink: ...........................
