Interesting thread. I hadn't realized duty was owed on instruments purchased
overseas.
I purchased an instrument from Eastern Europe within the last year and paid
zero duty. I just received the great big package through the US mail, picked
it up at the PO and that was that. I think shipping amounted to about $160
total. (Hmm. Maybe I shouldn't admit this.)
