azfisher Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 Love SU, been lurking for a while and could use a little help. If this post is in the wrong place I apologize. I'm looking to purchase a few swimbaits of Ebay from some Japanese distributors and on the sale page it says buyer is responsible for import fees, taxes, ect. The baits I'm looking at are 50$-200$. Anyone know what kind of fees or taxes an order like this would entail. I've ordered tackle components that were shipped from China and did not have to pay any fees, but these were fairly small orders. Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance, Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dozerdog Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 There shouldn't be any additional fees regardless of price, they would only charge more if you were buying in mega bulk. I've ordered RM's from there with no hidden fees and got free shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodCat Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 They're just charging the shipping costs. Some flip the bill, some don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggfeast Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 Yup, never had to pay anything but the cost of the bait and shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSlant Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 It's usually included...That's why shipping is a lil more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtnasty Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 I buy almost all my baits through Japan retailers, and never have been charged the import fee's they talk about. SpaceGhost 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepFisher Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 I bought a gan craft the other day from a good rated japan distributor on ebay. Turns out his Paypal wasn't accepted. Sale cancelled. He told me it should be ready in 2 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azfisher Posted February 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 Thanks to everyone for their input! With the help from your advice I pulled the trigger, two nice 250's and an older 175. Can't wait to get them and get out and throw them. Right on the middle of trout stocking season here in So. AZ. Clifford Perch and partner weighed 34.29 for a new lake record at Apache Lake, AZ last week throwing big trout baits. That's a huge sack for us here! I've been throwing Hudds, TT, Biwa's, Osprey's, Bullshad's and S-waver's for a while now, but my swimbait bud says it's time to step up to Deps. Now I need a new rod to throw something that big, time to start shopping! Thanks again for all your responses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
