Knitting machines out of Japan, have no restrictions, Harmonized Tarriff is 8447.12.90 with a duty rate of 4.7% commercial value of goods. It is also applicable to MPF, Merchandise Processing Fee of .125% commercial value of goods. If this arriving via ocean cargo direct port you have HMF, Harbor Maintenance FEE of .3464% commercial value. This will require a customs broker for clearance, Ebay may arrange that, I think so as part of their international program, I do not use it nor are familiar with it. Most of my international purchase have been low valued and do not have to deal with it. The entry will be an informal entry since its valued less than $2500 which is the threshold for formal entry. Every US Importer is allowed a daily maximum of $800 import of items DUTY FREE.
Before posting something, read OP’s post..the amount is $2200.. there is different laws/ taxes for different amounts..and different exemptions…up to $800 tax free.. also depending on private or business importation…

I did read the OP's post. Unless you're talking about certain luxury goods, the duty free limit from Japan is $800, not $1800 as you stated in your post. Rather than trying to baffle us with **bleep** I was merely trying to give the OP correct information based on their situation.

OP1 year agoYou have to know stuff that I don't know as I have not bought it yet. I was hoping to hear from someone who has experienced this kind of transaction.
