used car parts, from england to usa? duties? customs? currency conversions?
I'm considering buying two (specialty) =used= car carburetors from
england; the deal's 'all agreed to' but awaits my payment. meanwhile I have no CLUE where to investigate wether or not 'duty' or 'customs' applies to the transaction (google searches are no help, either), and, if duty/customs DOES apply, who pays it at what end, when? I have a paypal account, and I've bought stuff over ebay before (this is not an ebay transaction, however). I understand paypal will do the curr conversion at some (what I read is 'exhorbitant') rate, and/or that possibly mastercard will also do it for me (at some lesser percent additional???) Are there other options? I also have no CLUE how it would work with currency conversion (I mean the 'ratio of conversion' part is straightforward enough, but who pays the additional 'percent' for converting my dollars to UK pounds, where, and when, ordinarily? and, what'd be the cheapest way for seller to send ("mail") two used carburetors to me? time is "NOT of the essence" for my needs...by boat? would that normally take a month or two? more? then they "get tied up in customs" somewhere along the line? or possibly get mistaken for bombs by the x-ray inspectors? thanks for tips and education, tool box |
