Re: import Duty from USA?

I regularly order craft goods from the US and so far (contrary to expectations) have never been charged anything on top. Sometimes the orders have been for well over $100 but still no extra charges on top, so perhaps it does depend on what the goods are.

Re: import Duty from USA?

Does France have the same duty limits as the UK with regard to individuals bringing stuff back from the USA like ipods etc?

Duty and TVA are charged on the landed, CIF price (cost + insurance + freight).

I usually estimate that goods will cost twice their dollar price, and am then happy if it comes out lower.

Sometimes goods by USPS seem to be missed by the douanes.

I have heard, also, that goods by USPS are not checked by douanes, is this true ? or just luck
