Shipping cost estimation

[johannt]

Guys,

Has someone ordered knives from Lamnia.fi in Finland?

I am trying to figure out what the import taxes would be, round-about.

Thanks

Knives are difficult, taxes depend on fixed blade or not, purpose or of the knife (cutlery, fishery etc), material it is made of and size and wieght:

You can check for all the descriptions and classes over here:

Generally from the EU, there is no duty/excise for knives so only have to pay VAT.

HvR,

Thanks for the link. The SARS website (link) is not very user friendly. Maybe I am just a lazy reader

Was also given this link http://www.dutycalculator.com/. Works very nice, although it did work out a duty and VAT....

Maybe I should have a family member ship it for me from the States as a gift, me thinks...
