What is the currant US duty on used lenses imported from Japan? I believe it used to be none/free up to $2,000.

I think it's now 15% with an $800 de minimis exception expiring on August 29th.

How about a used lens made in Japan, and sold to a US buyer by a seller in Canada?

JFMI, why don't members ask U.S. Customs instead of FM members?
