Originally posted by nicoprod Does anyone have any experience with buying internationally and how it works with import duty and taxes on photographic equipment. Im thinking of buying a lens from a Russian seller. Thanks.
Oftentimes there will be no customs fees, especially when the item is shipped with regular mail (i.e. EMS or just airmail) and the value isn't eye-opening. The only time I've ever had to pay anything was when the sender forgot to attach a customs form...
