Sorry about this thread, I admit to not knowing much on this subject at all, and trying to read what is out there on the net has me even more confused.
I am located in the US, I have a gentleman that I know, so it isn't a scam, from Slovenia who has a turntable I am looking to purchase. He is going to ship via DHL, and I would assume he would know what the shipping/insurance costs will be to ship it to my location, again, assuming a DHL hub near me(?). Since I will pay for the shipping/insurance, I think it best to roll that shipping cost into my invoice, at least that makes sense to me.
What I have no idea is what potential taxes and customs fees will be due at time of me taking delivery. We have no VAT. Are these customs and taxes/fees typically paid at the DHL hub at delivery, and I assume can be paid by credit card etc.?
Any advice or assistance would be welcome, and again, sorry for maybe the seemingly very ignorant questions here....
