Has anyone in the USA purchased any BK pickups? I would like to know if there are fees, duties and taxes applicable to importing these pickups into the US. Thanks in advance everyone.

I guess Ill find out soon. Im also concerned that Ill need to pay import duties on my blackmachine and that could get VERY expensive. Almost to the point that it could be 30% of the value.
? Have they raised that? When I bought my RG8670 and had it brought in from Japan the import duty was roughly 8% or 9%.
Send Tim an email. I'm pretty sure his prices include shipping (and whatever fees are associated with it) in the cost of his pickups. I bought some from him last year and I don't recall having to deal with any type of customs bullshit, so you should be good! Customs, FTL!
So I wont have to pay duties on my Bareknuckles but I will have to pay them for my Blackmachine. shit.
Given the exchange rate the import duty should be the least of your worries. Like I said on my import from Japan it was around 9%. Just be prepared, as on my import it was a COD thing when they dropped it, ie no payment of duty = no delivery that day.
