    My broker is not expensive, offhand I don’t recall but they take the worry right out of the equation. Your paying FedEx or DHL or whomever to broker items in but they are much more difficult to work with and your always talking to a different person each time. So it’s a little more but I’d...

    They did on my last shipment here but I have a private broker do the transaction with Canada customs. This one I have shipped to my son in Belgium which arrived yesterday and I’ll be there on Friday so I thought I would just pick it up there to make it easier. Whoever is brokering the...

    It’s always interesting when I would bring a 30,000,000 year old fossilized skull across the border. There is even a specific customs code for one of those things. To make life easier I’d always get my broker to pre clear the item if I was driving it across the border.

    I believe the 6 means it’s over 100 years old. Items over 100 years old in Canada (and I believe the US) are duty exempt. But not exempt from state sales tax. I’ve shipped several helmets I’ve traded to the USA that were duty exempt with this code.

    Thanks! The second one is the back side of the 1813 Non combatants Iron Cross made in 1820-30 for the award winners. The white ribbon is the non combatant ribbon for both men and women. It is seldom seen on awarded Iron Crosses and in very nice condition. Here is the front side of it...

    If it is shipped marked with the HTC 9706.10 for antiques over 100 years old on the shipping form and commercial invoice FedEx will not charge the 10% import duty.
