Hi all...has anyone had the experience coming into the US borders back from Milan/Rome. How much is the usual tariff for leather goods coming in?
TIA!

My experience at SFO today: I declared $4000 worth of goods (I bought an Evelyne, belt kit, scarf and some non-hermes souvenirs). I was told to pay 3% for the first $3000 and 10% after. I was with my husband and daughter so we were tax exempted for $2400. However, after calculating they figured out that I am only paying $45 so they just let me go [emoji5]️
Hi! I will be traveling to Rome in June and would love to know how the stock is there. I'm looking to hopefully get my hands on a b25 or b30! Any advice? Thank you! 
Unfortunately, your chance is close to zero. Buying regularly sold online leather items in Rome would save you money. Rome is not a hopeful place for unusual coveted pieces.
Oh bummer! [emoji22] guess I'll be crossing my fingers that I'm lucky enough to score anything when I visit Rome! Would you advise that I would get a better chance in Florence? Or is it close to zero too?
I was able to get a Birkin 30cm on my first visit to Milan Hermes. The sales assistant was incredibly helpful and gave me a choice of two colour options. I did purchase other items, which I think helped.
I think a lot of it comes down to luck and connection with sales assistant.

Condotti store in Rome was very well stocked with toolboxes, bolides etc though. Many colours in the back
what about buying lindy, picotin or at least a GP in Italy ? i'm planning a trip in Oct to Milan, Florence, Rome & Venice.
Was looking for Lindy in padua, bologna, venice and rome but no luck. The times when i saw lindys, they were for display only. 1 in ostrich in Rome.
Managed to buy a blue nuit picotin in venice. There was a gold one on display
Guess its higher chance for picotin but always doesnt hurt to ask for stuff if you dont see it on shelves

Hi I am currently in Venice but only found a GP with no Lindy at all.... And Will be moving to Milan soon. May I know the possibility of getting a Lindy there? As I will only be spending three nights there before I leave the country...
Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi everyone,
I'm going to Rome and Florence this June and will of course drop by H for some orange shopping
Hoping to buy a few smaller items/accessories before dropping the B/K question (though I know many of you have said Italy isn't the place for B/K)
Those of you who have visited the stores - do the SAs in the Rome & Florence stores work by sections (e.g. scarves/accessories, bags, RTW) or does 1 SA serve you throughout the store?
