Topic: Avalon question - Customs charge? (Read 998 times)
I am wondering the same thing for importing Avalon into Australia. Have any Aussies received one?
I think Avalon ship the unit with the invoice stuck on the box, showing payment in BTC. I am not sure what Aus customs will do (if anything) about that.

I live in Canada and am anxiously awaiting my batch 3 Avalon ASIC. To those who have received one in US or Canada, did Customs charge you a ridiculous amount upon delivery?
I recently ordered a $200 item from China and Customs charged me a 17% fee. I'm hoping that I'm not faced with a $1000 charge when this thing comes in.

Let me guess 5% GST and 12% in "brokerage" and other charges payable to the courier company not customs. The way to avoid a ridiculous "customs" charge on small items is to never use a private courier for shipping. The worst I have seen is UPS who charged 50 CAD to "broker" 3.50 CAD of GST.
You're lucky, in Spain I paid 90€ for a 200€ order from China..
I too would be dealing with the same issue residing in Canada. Has anyone found a way around it?
