Thread: Overseas razors

Can anyone tell me what hoops a razor in the classifieds has to go through to enter the U.S.? Would this package go through as our normal mail does or is it an invitation for frustration? Also wondering about taxes, duties, and any other fees involved. Our Canadian friends have nothing good to say about trade over our northern border. I tend to agree with them. I refuse to get a passport to buy a case of Molson Canadians. This razor is in Isreal, I am quite comfortable dealing with a SRP member but our federal government is another story.

I purchased a razor from Israel last year. I had no problems, just takes some time to get here.

in your case how long did it take? No fees involved?

IME if it isn't over $200 USD there is no import tax. I have bought razors, hones and what have you from all over the globe with no problems yet. Waiting on one from Bulgaria as we speak. The carrier and service selected determines the time frame. More $ faster service.

Thanks guys, unless someone else jumps first I see a little wedge in my future

It all depends on the shipping method and customs
