Thread: For MdC Fans...

no it doesnt cost that in washington state USA. i,m in Tn but its the same to all of us, so not real sure where you got your numbers, check that adding machine. ive been buying MDC for 4 years and in the states he ships it for around 68$, i, myself always get it for around 60. cause i get 2 jars at a time so the shipping is spread out over 2 jars.

118 euros or dollars, not accurate.last order was 3 months ago, never have been charged any import or custom fees. now that is the real numbers

I’m in TN also and I’d love to sell him some soap! /H

Cheers, Steve

No need to check my calculator, as Martin de Candre did the three quotes (incl. shipping) for me for 2 x “SHAVING SOAP - VÉTYVER - LIMITED EDITION”, which is a more expensive soap than the regular stuff. (2 x 200 g Fougere to the US would be €101.29.)

I did however add the applicable taxes (GST and PST for Canada, and local sales tax for Lynnwood, WA) from the official websites, but no import duties, none of which you had to pay if the parcel would get waved through, which in Canada would be highly unlikely as all imported goods above C$20 are taxable.

If it’s shipped via United States Postal Service to a US address, there will be no customs, duty, or tax of any kind for almost all personally used items - the laws are amazingly lenient. Alcohol may be an exception above 1L, and they will take your French cheese and saucisson. I’ve never paid any fees whatever for any international shipments, the US fortunately does not charge for most anything used personally.

Up to 800 USD things get processed de minims - no tax. That's the current law.
Above 800 it depends. USPS and CBP will usually let things sail through up to 2000 USD ands sometimes even a bit higher. Like you said - never paid a single cent in taxes or import duties with USPS.
UPS/Fedex etc process the customs paperwork themselves. They do the paperwork and submit it CBP so sometimes you can get hit with a tax if you are over 800 and they decide they want to collect. In that situation it seems to me it's up to the shipper or whoever does the paperwork. Once I had to pay on a 1200USD package shipped via DHL.
