Please try to stay on topic. I realise because of the complexity of some of the posts members may veer off but in answer do not 'go there'.

For info and questions on US customs please post on the thread below: post https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/us-customs-discussion-airports-importing.905560/

Detaxing (to US from Europe) https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/best-way-to-detax-after-h-in-europe.178302/

or non-US destinations: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/does-h-store-paris-wants-to-ship.605014/page-3

For questions relating to prices https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/reference-hermes-current-prices.102567/page-357

For traveling with boxes https://forum.purseblog.com/threads...me-hermes-boxes-when-traveling.1044553/page-5



I will leave this reminder as a sticky because tthis is often a thread that new members (or new Hermès lovers) post on - hopefully temporarily.

Please help!

I was able to score an Alligator handbag in Paris and came back to U.S yesterday, happy as a clam.

However, I just got a phone call from US Customs, asking me to pay for the custom taxes. Apparently, they said French Customs notified them because it's exotic leather. And the tax rate could go as high as 100%[emoji31]

Does anyone have experience on similar situation? Shall I consult with a lawyer?

I don't know what to do now...100% is way too much...

TIA.

Oh dear, I can't believe you didn't declare it US customs... I ALWAYS declare it and just pay up the money... If you don't, you have to pay a penalty of 8x the amount. The US customs workers tell me that they flag people who don't declare... you may have to be checked everytime you go through customs now. I would try to hire a lawyer.. It may save a little amount.

hi all, it has been a while - since i got my K32 in end July.
The recent trip in Dec - i've managed to score B35 in etoupe - not my dream size but it was last day of the year and before my flight leaving on the next day and ALSO price increment.
No doubt, i've decided to bring it home with me :)
Definitely one of the low stock period but i still consider myself with LUCK - the price was euro 7650.

Thanks for lettting me share this. Anyone else manage to get B/K on 30/31 Dec?
