Yes Roger until the landowner tore it down in the name of rebuilding his business empire. My shop was Pacific Coin Centre LTD from 1985 until 1997. Thus Pacificoin on this forum.
@Brexzz1 no they have 2 forms one is items up to and including 250.00 USD each . The second form is for items 250.00 and up to $2500.00 each . The criteria is the customs tariff code that the items fall under. Ie are they DUTY free or not. That is why it is very easy to do for coin and small collectibles dealers. Also at the PO we use , I ran into an old stamp auction friend who has been doing stamps and related for years from a US address .
Most people confuse the DUTY aspect with TAXATION..........two totally different deals. Collector coins of numismatic interest are DUTY free
in most countries that are GATT members ( General agreement on trades and tariffs ). However almost all countries have a national SALES Tax, the US does not. The only thing the US customs warned was that the packages remain open and each package must have an invoice with it. The only other caution was a single item of over $2500.00 US should be brokered or sent from Canada. They were pretty cool about it when we first went last month, even almost friendly showing us how to fill the 2 different forms out. I think the fact my wife is a US citizen does not hurt. As a final word on this you cannot import items from places of origin such as CUBA ,NORTH KOREA , certain ISLAMIC STATES , or some ancient coins where it is illegal for them to have left their country of origin. One example was Cyprus. Other than that We have found a solid legal way to increase our
ebay business in the US without tracking killing us financially.
