OK....
How many kits could I ship to Europe for $10? I think thats one for our American friends.
Taxes? It depends on the value of the product,so it may be cheaper to import individually. The link below helps, but doesn't give you a formula to work it out.
I have bought goods from the US in the past for a total value (P+P included) of £22 - or about $35 (£1.00 = $1.61 at the time - check my maths!) and have had no problems or extra taxes. There is a link within the link entitled "notice 143.." which is the custums and excise page. It may help someone!
Ultimately if Doug wishes to quote me a price, inclusive of P+P and send me a kit, I'm willing to take the risk and pay any charges that may apply, and then tell you what I had to pay. $63 isn't a lot with the exchange rate as it stands now.
I doubt whether sending a kit to the UK and then on to France will be any cheaper. A to B direct is usually cheapest, although I haven't done my homework.
Heres the link:
