Hi,
I wonder if anyone can help me with this. I was browsing jewelry online (googling "aquamarine rings" as I don't have one nad would like to) and I saw a ring I really liked with an unusual design, but it's in Europe. Since I don't know anyone in urope, I would have to have it imported to the States. The jeweler said they can ship it, but they don't know the procedure once it lands in the US.
Most of the import threads are about importing FROM the US.
Has anyone imported TO the US from Europe?
I know I'd have to pay state sales tax, which is fine, but does anyone know the procedure? Would the ring be held somewhere until I'd done the paperwork? Do I go somewhere and pay the sales tax? Are there other fees on top of the sales tax?
if anyone knows how this works, I'd be grateful. Just don't want to pay unseen fees, or have difficulty getting the authorities to release it.
Thanks!
