[meteorite-list] Import duty on scientific equuipment

[David Pensenstadler]

Dear list:

Does anyone have any advice on import duty for scientific equipment shipped into the US from England?

I am bidding on a polarizing microscope on Ebay and have no idea if there will be any import duty, or if any, how much.

Any advice from you folks that have purchased anything on Ebay form overseas would be appreciated.

Dave
