Question about international fees

I recently purchased a Livi straight razor from a guy in Italy for 300,, It´ll arrive within a few days to the US,, he put the package as a Gift,, does anybody knows how much I will pay as tax for getting the package here??.. has anybody received stuff from overseas?? how much have you paid for that???

Thanks everybody

If it went through the postal service you probably won't pay anything. No guarantee but in all probability.

I've only had to pay fees when receiving items via UPS or Fedex - local post or EMS is fine. I've received items from the USA, UK, and the Philippines (to Canada), and from the USA, and Canada (to NZ).

thanks a lot eple,, is it a lot of money to pay?? because he sent it via USPS express mail
cheers

Depends on the declared value of the items - most I've paid is $160 on a declared value of $1400 via fedex (real value was over $3k, and I had to do a host of paperwork for this one).

Upon re-reading what I typed earlier, I realized I had made a mistake. I meant to say "I've only had to pay fees when receiving items via UPS or Fedex - Local post (USPS, etc.) or EMS is fine."

So, no you shouldn't have to worry about anything. Sorry about that.
