Have you ordered a lens or other gear from S. Korea? How did it go?
As a comparison, I’m reading that buying lenses from Japan — especially when shipped via EMS to the US — goes smoothly and without any import duties or other fees. How about Korea?
Has anyone purchased from Korea and had it shipped to US via EMS? Did you encounter any customs/imports/duties issues or additional fees?
I’m thinking of ordering a lens very soon and would appreciate some guidance. Thanks!
PS: wonder if the import rules and fees, even for a private buyer, are based on the US agreement with the source country. Are th agreements with S. Korea different than Japan?
