 |
|
I'm thinking about ordering some kind of electronic keyboard from the US. Near as I can tell, the selection here in Korea is terrible and the price is so inflated that it makes economic sense to just find what I want in the US and have it mailed here.
I'm wondering:
1. Would it need a voltage converter?
2. Would I have to pay any customs duties on it? I seem to recall a couple of years ago reading that if goods were marked 'personal property' that they usually didn't get taxed.
Regards,

| Get it repackaged and your family to write it as used? It's a major, major item so you might have to pay duties on it. |
