p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Sending lens to the USA


Hi guys,

I am from Vietnam and planning to sell some of my lens to FMers here (mainly USA) and wonder if there are any barriers to make it happens.
1. Will the USA Customs accepts used lens to be imported to the USA?
2. If accepted, will there are any import tax, duties or any other costs for the lens to be delivered to the recipient?

Please let me know. Or could be a link to explore myself.

Thanks a lot

I've bought a number of older Nikon camera lenses (e.g., ai-s) off eBay from Intl sellers in Japan and Hong Kong, and haven't had any issues with respect to customs or having to pay import taxes. That said, if you're wanting to sell newer high-end lenses originally purchased outside the U.S., you might have trouble finding buyers for them here as some companies won't service products that originate outside the U.S. market (should service ever be needed). Historically, this has been especially true of Nikon, though there has been some speculation that such policies may be changing.

Jancohen,
Thanks for your valueable information. Seem that my plan doesn't have any barriers.
I plan to sell stuff bought from Ebay US or from FMers here.
Will be Leica R, Contax or later model of Zeiss lenses.

Will I need to pay fee for the FM forum for each successful sale?

Regards,
Tue

Just the one time selling fee that's based on length of time to post for sale ads

Thanks mate. Now I understand it is the upload & sell onetime fee to join the gang.
I think I will pick the 3-month option @ 14$
