Message: <blockquote data-quote="Hudson" data-source="post: 1429839" data-attributes="member: 15488">I once sold a CD transport (If you’re an audiophile you’ll know what this is) to a collector in Korea, who offered to pay the shipping cost, which was an additional $200. Between extra paperwork, customs forms, and additional fees plus extra packing, i ended up eating $50 of that shipping cost. Luckily he paid me full boat for the transport, but otherwise it was the last time I’ll ship goods outside the US.i did ship a 1956 Matchless G80 to my friend in the UK, via air freight. What a challenge that was. Luckily I used the crate he built to ship me a 1966 Rickman, but the customs paperwork and forms were ridiculous. Also, I learned that the the time to ship a bike to the EU is after Oct, when the fees drop more than half - it went from $1800 down to $750. Plus you have to go through a customs agent and pay another $300 to cover fees and such. something I won’t plan to do again, but it was worth it for this bike.</blockquote>
