Re: Import tax on seed orders

 

Well this I'm from Spain and living in USA now I don't knoshow was last year or this year, last year  because even I made a order in USA I took the seeds with me to Spain later, but before these two years I have never ever paid taxes for my SIGNA orders. I don't if that is now related with the commercial war between USA and EU.

I think seeds and specially small orders f them didn't have to pay. And if we have too nothing more the 3% than nowadays banks charge when buying abroad by credit or visa card. The way make things easier if it would be to get some kind international permission like when donating seeds to USA and you need that form from Smericsn Agriculture Department

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!
