| Re: Shipping a unit to the US
Some countries have 'export duties' , most countries have import duties. Depending on what the 'status' is of the unit, you may have to pay duties.
If you send a 'present' to someone and it is of less than a certain value, usually no duties. If you send something off for 'repairs' and it comes back to you, usually it does not incur duties.
Also the declared value plays a role. If you buy something from abroad and it is above a certain value, you pay duties. I am not sure what the limits are for the US. The key is whether you are importing something into the country.
If you do not declare full value and it goes lost, you can only claim back the value noted. Insurance and declared value have to be the same, if not, it is at a minimum frowned upon.
Check with customs websites.
