Yes, you took the first quote out of context. In it I was answering a general question about importing high priced items and the carrier chosen. I was referring, if you go further back in the thread in question, to my import of watches and my experience that if its FedEx you pay duty and if its USPS you do not - on the same items. The member went and found the US Tax regulation that specifically excludes SLR cameras from import duty and told the FedEx person the code and gave them a detailed description of the camera and got the package the next day without any fees or duties.
Hope that clears things up.
