Hello there,

I've been reading this forum for quite some time - thank you all for ton of information.

I bought a used Behmor 1600+ that I just upgraded to 2000. I rigged in a BT thermocouple, exhaust TC and controlled exhaust airflow to use with Artisan. Mostly roasting 150g to 300g at a time. I only have maybe 20 roast done, so I'm a newbie but I like to start research early.
I read Scott Rao's book on best roasting practices and while I'm able to have a smoothlyish declining ROR, the approach I need to take drives me bananas.

Two main questions I'd like to ask are:
1. Are there import duty taxes into USA that must be paid on top of shipping fees charged by Mr Li or Kaldi?
2. I've seen just a couple of threads on new Kaldi Wide 400, which is quite surprising how small user base is.
How does it compare to Huky? They're almost at the same price point and similar features (I guess).

Thank you for your guidance and input.

Kindest regards,

Jakub
