importing from china (duty taxes)

[EricB]

I've recently placed an order from overseas, the declared value is $360.00 & the suppliers invoice for customs wrote "electronic spare parts". The item was shipped via TNT & is in transit. How much $$ if any should I go to the bank tomorrow to take out for paying duty taxes. It's coming from Shenzen China if that matters. Eric

I've ordered many times from China and have never had to pay any duty taxes. Orders are just delivered by the post office and a signature is required. At $360, I'm assuming this is for your personal use -- I don't know if it's any different for suppliers.

There are no taxes.
