Question on International Purchases

*Shogun26* · 06-13-2012, 11:42 AM

I didn't know where to put this (move if in wrong place). Does anyone know if I have to pay custom fees if I purchase something off ebay that is coming from Greece into the US?

Thanks for your help!

Customs would be included in the shipping when applicable. Whenever I print out an international label, it includes a customs form which is processed right at my local post office to ship. It's nice you purchased from a nation that really needs some economic help.

I haven't yet, I am really considering it, but I just want to make sure there are no any surprises.

Thank you for letting me know.

Really depends on how much it is worth, and how much is declared. You should be fine for anything under $100 value coming into the US.

Less than $100.

I buy things from Greece every so often. Used to live there and still love the place. Anyway, my last purchase was for about $65 worth of stuff from eBay, and I didn't pay anything besides shipping. If the declared value is over $100, then you'll need to pay. Or, at least that's how it was when I travelled back and forth.

I've never had to pay customs fees for anything I've purchased from outside the US.
