Ive decided that I will be buying a Filco Keyboard from TKC, and when I added the keyboard to my cart and selected USA, it gave me:
Please note: Customs duties/taxes are the responsibility of the receiver, they vary greatly from country to country and we advise you get in contact with your local customs office for further information.
Liability for carriage and additional charges due to non payment will be the responsibility of the purchaser.
Does anyone know how much the Duty is? The keyboard itself is 114 (Insert Euro Sing Here) which converts to 134$.
Thank you.

You sure its euro's ? I thought the keyboard co was pounds.

We don't have to pay any customs fees on such items here in USA unless you are importing in bulk like for resale.
Are you sure that particular model isn't available on amazon or at ncix? Nothing wrong with buying from keyboardco but the shipping from GB will make it a lot more expensive.

It is available on Amazon, but the only people selling it are all from Japan, meaning its nearly 40$ shipping +150$ for the keyboard, making it more than ording from TKC.

Think your right, keyboard would be closer to 200$ since its pounds. Still cheaper than amazon though.

One of the rep's from the keyboard company actually posted that Amazon will be getting a limited supply of Filco's within the next couple of days. If you can wait a few days, I would do it because you'll not only probably get the keyboard quicker, but you'll probably pay less as well.

what keyboard are you actually buying?
