Re: Import tax on seed orders

No duties on seeds. May have GST costs if amount over 15 USA$ and delivered by courier. Not an issue if by post.

Never had to pay any extra costs on SIGNA seed

To international SIGNA members:
The issue of people having to pay duties on SIGNA seed orders has come up for the first time (to my knowledge).
So a survey ...

Did you have to pay duties on your seed order this year and how much?
Do you consider the tax a reasonable cost?

Have you had to pay in the past and since when?
Have you had to pay for surplus seed orders as well?
What country?
Is there any way we can reduce this cost?
Any other comments?

Thanks!
