(...) OK, based on an exchange rate I found this morning (CN$1.54 = US$1.00), that would mean that sales under US$13 may be duty exempt. Does this sound correct ? Ray (22 years ago, 21-May-02, to lugnet.market.shipping)

In order to resolve some questions concerning which shipements of Lego parts are 'potentially dutiable' (and require a customs form), I am asking the international buyers/sellers (i.e. non-US) to help with some basic information. Personally, I am (...) (22 years ago, 20-May-02, to lugnet.market.shipping)

One is the web site for you and me, one is the list that the post offices themselves can order from and one is (...) (22 years ago, 29-Apr-02, to lugnet.market.shipping)

(...) That's weird! I do the same thing, I take in extras of the sizes I know they can't order either (one of the flat boxes they can get and one they can't). I don't mind that much as it keeps my relationship with the local PO in good shape. They (...) (22 years ago, 29-Apr-02, to lugnet.market.shipping)

But I can live without the 5x5 box, I guess, and it seems that's the only one not (...) (22 years ago, 29-Apr-02, to lugnet.market.shipping)
