Is there anybody who is familiar with the US customs policy regarding importing a couple of amplifiers for personal use?
Please enlighten me!!
Thanks!

When I imported speakers I had to pay like 10% on custom fees when the order was over 1k. I had 3 orders over 1k and all of them I had to pay ~10%. Usually got the bill from DHL / UPS once they got to US and before delivery.

Hit and miss. I have imported things with no fees and have been with import taxes.

I have ordered a few amps from China and (fingers crossed) have yet to get hit with import taxes.

However, when I bought a Sinbosen (XBS) amp earlier this year, I had to pay California sales tax - because they now have a warehouse in the L.A. area.
