A supervisor called me today from the UPS customs division and said that you will not have any duties or taxes if you do the following:

 

1) The Camera needs to be under code 8525.80.40.00 and 2) specifically listed as having no video capability.

 

3) If you get the viewfinder the Viewfinder should actually be listed under tariff code 8529.90.86.00.

 

Don't get a bag with it though- bags and textiles carry a 25%-30% tariff. Get that in the US.

O.K. Here I go again. I am about to spring for the Leica X1! I am still crossing my fingers that my Leica IIIg will bring in enough money tomorrow night on ebay, but so far it looks good. This should mean that within the next couple of weeks, I will spring for the X1. Apparently, more X1's are being shipped and supplies are increasing so I should be able to get an X1 in Europe somewhere without the VAT tax. SH Photo in Germany still does not have them in stock, however. So where can I find one now and save? Thanks guys-
