International saw shipping

[TopJimmy]

Hi guys,

I have a 346xp listed on Ebay and have had a couple of questions regarding shipping to Norway. One specifically ask if I would mark it as a gift. I assume that this would be a violation of law, but do not know. Any thoughts on international shipping and marking as a gift.

Thanks,

Jim

I expect that if you mark it as merchandise that they will impose import taxes on it when it goes thru Norway customs and your customer will have a bill waiting on them at the post office. I doubt that American customs will care enough to persue it as they aren't out any money either way.

Just my 2c,
Ian

If the saw is used, label it as a USED Power Saw. The few things that I have shipped overseas (which really were USED), were labeled as used equipment, and there were no duties or fees charged to the buyer.

FWIW,

Andy

Is it new? If it's new, listing it as a gift will get around tariffs and sales taxes and all of that. If it's used, shouldn't be a problem. I've never had a problem listing saws as "gifts." No questions asked.

Since this is not the proper forum for items for sale, I will not post particulars here. PM me if you have any questions.

Thanks,
