That depends on your country. The thing to remember since you're only buying it for that much, that is all you have to declare.

$300 - Item
$50 - Shipping (varies)
$70 - 20% Customs VAT on item + shipping + insurance (if applicable)
Customs Duty = can be either duty-free or around 6.7% This can only be determined once at Customs.
Probably minor courier fees, these are more of an inconvenience than a concern.

Of course, if you wish to risk it you can under declare and/or declare as a gift. Considering the below, I personally wouldn't risk doing so since it's not like it can be returned anywhere, and it remains a good deal less than retail.

So for the UK, this could potentially cost as little as $420 to import which is around 300. For a 650-800 (welcome to the UK) device. Other countries will mildly differ by a % or two.

The main reason people think of Customs being unreasonable is usually due to people importing computer hardware, which is quite often in the thousands; thus harder to under declare and also a little bit moronic since the market isn't THAT different. People don't also always SE and sell for really cheap like a bae so customs is less of a burden.


Correct me if I'm wrong though.

Customs depends on the value and how it is declared. You can find out more on your government's website. It's usually just your standard VAT rate on the item value, shipping cost and any insurance cost plus import duty which varies quite a bit but is usually less than 10%. Food, drink or tobacco has additional charges here but that's not relevant.

It won't differ massively. People have imported these phones (not even SE'd) to Italy, China, Germany... It's not as much of a dick punch as people make out.

Hey that is really useful thank you.

I'm sure you and Asir can work something out, for if customs ends up trying to finger you. All that will occur if you don't pay is the item is sent back to your reship warehouse, where you can send it anywhere including Asir. You lose the costs of shipping, but perhaps you get some of the 300 back or something. Just a thought.

Not sure, if you really wanted it I'm sure you'll figure it out.

Processed an order for Pulseeey. Waiting for the tracking from Google.

Do you accept Bitcoin Cash? How long will it take from my payment to getting item delivered?

So if you ordered today, the tracking would come to you by Friday and the item would arrive at your reship on Tuesday since Google doesn't ship on weekends.

I do accept BCH

Posting to come back to this later. Good job on SEing Google.
