Hi Larry,
I've never had to pay duty on mailed items but those ortders that get
shipped by air freight, (BAX=Baxter International Inc.?), I've always had to
pay the shlepping fee, and usually some duty. Depends on the attitude of
the Customs agent at the moment!
Even if this was a prepaid shipment and was door to door, it doesn't get to
my door, even if I paid for it! Gotta pick it up at the dock or pay ANOTHER
fee to have it delivered! Amazing what I can stuff in a Morris Minor!!
Good Luck
Paul A
