I don't know where else to ask this, but I want to buy a pair of headphones from a headfi member in In The Netherlands. I live in the US. Neither of us really know how to deal with international shipping, duties, insurance, customs etc. could anyone here explain this stuff to me? i know it's boring, but i don't know where else to look heh.
thanks in advance.

I've got more specific questions about the same thing.

If you sent it as a gift, does the person in the US have to pay custom duties anyway?

I assume there is a amount where you don't have to pay those duties. What is the highest value you can sent without having to pay custom duties etc.? My post office said it is €100 but I think they must have meant $100. Is that right, $100?


Can a mod please move this to Members lounge? Think Outside isn't the right forum for it. Thanks!

Send the item marked as commercial sample or "other" and describe as "headphones being sent for repair"
