For non-americans.. Do you pay taxes for your shirts ?

I got my order few days ago. Actually, I got a message first, saying that I should come to a post office to take my package... There, they gave me a bill for some taxes (custom etc.), in a value of 50% of a shirts price.

So I payed my order 150% ..

What about your country ? Do you pay some stupid taxes for your Threadless shirts ?

aristarchus is from canada, and he says the customs people don't bother him if he orders a shirt at a time

Threadless just changed shipping to Canada, we pay taxes through the site now and DHL ships them directly to our homes without customs fees.

kaloyster on Apr 03 '07 at 9:16pm

Nope.

But the mailman always charge me a small amount for delivering the shirts (Php35 = $.7).

Actually Serbia.. Blah, there is no Yugoslavia any more.. They change names and borders here very often lately... And while countries are getting smaller, taxes are getting biger.. Banana republic as it best..

they didn't charge me in london nor in romania, but I've heard of these custom taxes from a few blogers.

How many tees did you order?

TatiMagritte on Apr 04 '07 at 6:59am

Here in Brazil they charge taxes too, but only somepeople they do like a rafle its a luck thing some have luck and dont have to pay and some does...

menosketiago on Apr 04 '07 at 7:11am

actually you may not pay taxes by rule mate, you only pay tax if the mail control decides to inspect your mail order and I think it works that way globally...

You were just unlucky :P

I paid custom tax for a hoody once. In England.

evaanita on Apr 04 '07 at 7:29am

If I order for more than about 30 dollars I have to pay taxes. I'm in Norway.

Dandelionbreeze on Apr 04 '07 at 7:34am

wow, these taxes are a huge pain it seems.

onli4 on Apr 04 '07 at 7:38am

So how about to Hong Kong? Anybody knows?

A stupid question but I really dont know :

Why they charge taxes? I mean how do they know it's from a foreign tees store or from a foreign friend??

dolly on Apr 04 '07 at 7:52am

Ive paid �10 tax before ordering to the uk, but only because I had 3 shirts, never happened with indiviual orders before.

pxlb on Apr 04 '07 at 8:29am

I ordered 6 shirts, they were ~ 80$ and I pay aditional 40$ to custom... I've got some information today, it seems that here is same as Norway, more than 30 EUR of value and you pay taxes.. That really sucks !
