Customs duty on anime figures - 35%, manga & artbooks - 25%?
« on: August 05, 2010, 02:28:49 PM »
For anime figures (scale models, dolls, dollfies included i think, since it mentions clothed or not)

For imported books like manga, photobooks, calendars, illustrations which come under section 49.01, 49.10 & 49.11

Boy - importing sure is going to get more costlier now. :(

May be this is for commercial import.

I've been charged around 17% on the figures and 30% on DVDs.

So far I've not paid any duty on artbooks... possibly because I buy 2-3 artbooks at a time.
