Hello all,

I have purchased a great deal of gear via the internet, some of which has come f rom Robert White, and one or two other sources outside the USA, so I am familiar with the duty that is charged for equipment.

I recently purchased a new lens and a used lend from RW, and when I got the bill , I was assessed the same rate for the used lens as the new one (5.8%).

That suprised me a bit, because I can't imagine a used piece being categorized t he same as a new lens, even though they are both lenses. I'm wondering if there was an error in the categorization, or maybe I just don't understand how the ta riff system works.

Anyone have any insight on the tariffs, and how they are charged?

Thanks,

---Michael
