Robert White products, when impoorted into the USA, and shipped by UPS or
FedEx do get hit with US Duty.... about 3-4%.  Plus the inescapable Customs
Broker charges of another $50 or so.... If you have it sent US mail, the
USPS does not exact its pound of flesh at all.. Basically duty free......

The free duty is the English VAT that you do not have to pay... 15%... or a
rebate to you of 12%... Usually White already deducts that VAT when he
quotes you.....
