I thought that was quite good, it cost me $120 to ship the Emig clamps over here and pay import duty!!

I'm happy with the $26 shipping...considering I've paid a lot more for international shipping for just decals/stickers.

Import duty sucks! Even when my dad in San Clemente CA sends us birthday gifts for his grandchildren we have to pay duty!! Only way around it is for me to get stuff boxed up and put into a container with the kx500s i buy and ship it that way. I dont pay duty,... but its a very slow boat!

Don't get me started on import duties.
That's just another way of Governments ripping off their citizens.... :x

oh yeah... here in germany since 2009 they take the full price (article +shipping-costs) for calculating the import duty. under 22,- euro it is free. 22-150 euro you have to pay 19% . over 150,- euros the 19% plus another tax for the state (calculated from the 119% ) best example was my kx500 motor in 2011: it started with 450,-us-dollar + the shipping costs on ebay . at least i payed roundabout 800,-euros = 1000 usd for all... the shipping and import duty was more ,as what i paid for the engine itself...
so i look now first in uk and netherlands for parts,that i could not find in germany... in the eu is no import duty to pay, only the shipping costs...
