Import duties to bring old levers into US?
Does anyone know what import duties are charged to bring old lever machines into the US? Is there an exemption based on how old they are?
Thanks

it can be hit or miss, the worst that will happen is you will get the standard coffee and tea maker tariff (3.7% of declared value + shipping costs), HTS 8516.71.00
Sometimes it's less from free to 2.2% but like I said it can vary on the assigned agent looking at your shipment. I don't know of an exempt tariff thing due to age outside of the 100 year antique rule.

Completely hit or miss. I've never been charged when shipped by DHL and always with FedEx. Shipments of both coffee and motorcycle gear from: UK, Italy, Germany, Japan and Taiwan.
Thanks kindly Ryan and Bill.
Ryan do you have a link for that? I tried to find it but couldn't get it to load here:

I think the site is going wacky or something as I have not been able to access it either recently

usually the US are very lenient regarding import duties contrasting EU countries especially germany.
i bought coffee gear, motorcycle gear, etc and never got charged. and shipping is often surprisingly fast.

My experience with coffee roasters, espresso machines & vintage car parts is that it depends on who is delivering the package in the U.S. I never got charged with the USPS even on fairly expensive shipments. I always get charged customs fees & duties with UPS, Fed Ex & DHL.
