 |
|
Hi there,
We would like to order some new backpacks on the net that are around $150 per backpack. Do you think we would be charged customs fees on this when they enter Korea? They would be coming directly from the store.
Thanks so much! |

Yes... I always got dinged by Customs when I ordered stuff from LLBean....
but for the admiration of the lady Korean teachers, and it driving my POS narcissistic coworker insane with jealousy was well worth it....  |

Do they give you the package with a bill for the import fees attached, or do you have to pay before getting your package? I ordered an ebook reader and had it shipped to my school so I want to know if I should set money aside for the office staff to pay the mailman.
18% - ugh! |

When I got my iPad I had to pay 70k right then and there before the deliveryman would give it to me. |

| While backpacks are a larger item, you could probably still get away with having them sent home first, and then have family re-pack them and send them via the post office. I've never had anything tagged with duty when it was sent from a private address and not a business. |

Thanks! I hope the eBay reseller doesn't list the actual price I paid on the declaration slip  |

Private sellers usually don't. They label as a sample, gift and undervalued in my experience. |
