    Buying a used jacket from Australia..are there Import taxes?

    Thanks! Yes I will re read. I read this 10 years ago so things may have changed. With not ever being charged, I never felt the need to go and read more. If I had to pay fees, rest assured, I would be combing through the regulations with a magnifying glass. Regards, Jay

    Buying a used jacket from Australia..are there Import taxes?

    Just got this quickie off of Google. It appears that as long as it is purchased off the Internet, you can go up to $1,600 duty free. After that it is murky but looks like a 3% charge is possible. How much was the Aero? Mailing and Shipping Goods - Customs Duty Guidance Up to $1,600 in goods...

    Buying a used jacket from Australia..are there Import taxes?

    15 years of importing and exporting new and original vintage style jackets, knits, zippers, etc, and I have never been taxed. It is actually in the customs regulations someplace. I have read them. I don't have a link at the moment. I will check into it. Sometimes companies will charge handling...

    Buying a used jacket from Australia..are there Import taxes?

    There are no import taxes or customs fees in the USA, Unless you are a business importing large amounts of the same product for resale. Personal items purchased or small amounts of goods are not taxed by the US Government. One of the great things about living in the USA! You could buy a $2000...

    Headwind Aviatrix Amelia Earhart Jacket

    Thanks! Yes it is a tough jacket to get details on. We only mostly have the photos. I discovered a bunch of hi res images in her papers at Purdue University. That was an exciting find and helped nail down some details. One thing that others missed on their versions is the gusseted arm pit...

    Vintage G1 Restoration Help!

    You can clean the leather with Lexol leather cleaner. It is PH balanced so it won't harm leather. It will corrode metal though so keep it off the zipper. It is the consistency of shampoo. Just work a small section at a time. Lather up well and then wipe with a clean wet rag, and then...

    Headwind Aviatrix Amelia Earhart Jacket

    Hey Guys, I went back and forth on the hide question with her jacket. In the end both me and John Chapman from Good Wear agree that the jacket was Capeskin. My conclusion has to do with a few things. #1 the drape in this photo. Never have I seen Goatskin that flexible on a relatively new jacket...

    Eastman 'Warhorse' vs Aero 'Vicenza'

    The War Horse I have handled was soft and pliable. I have not seen the Aero Vicenza in person. The Vicenza I have handled was not as soft as the War horse. The problem with the oz rating is that every type leather has a different density. For instance, 1 oz of sheepskin vs 1 oz of Horsehide...
