Several days ago, son bought grandson a new jacket and had the seller ship it to grandson in France. Son had waited for the jacket to go on a super sale before purchasing it. When the jacket arrived at its destination in France, the UPS guy demanded 103 Euros (~$140 US) in cash (no check) import duty; grandson told UPS guy, "I don't have that much cash on me. What can I do?" UPS guy replied, "Ride with me to an ATM." Evidently, seller/shipper had declared the full retail value on the customs form. Lesson learned, I hope. (Actually, I had feared such when I first learned that they were going to purchase a new jacket and send it to him. If he had taken the proper jacket with him in his luggage coupla months ago, there would have been no import duty.)
