Import duty on Guitar

plonk · 2006-05-05 19:02:38

I am buying a guitar on ebay for 160 dollars and with postage this will come to 240 dollars. I am just wondering do I have to pay import duty on this and how much and when. I have already asked this question in another thread but fuzzylogic locked it. All help appreciated Plonk
