Anyone able to help a fellow pinsider get a machine from Toronto area over to NY?
If able to help send me a PM
Quoted from Meegis:If a Canadian brings a pin across the border, there will be charged applied.
However, Americans can bring games back over without getting hit
Yeah that’s how I understand it too, I’m trying like a SOB to find someone to help me with this. I’m willing to pay for the help.
The fee isn’t that high. Did this once before, bought from a nice guy up in Toronto and brought it all the way to the PA NY border for me. Said it was like $60.
Shipping commercial like sti is different because that involves a broker since it must clear with a truckload of other items. $400 plus the $500 shipping in this case. I’d like to avoid this! Lol
Quoted from sixtyfourbits:Hmm interesting. I thought the rule was that as long as the game was going back in to the country it originally was made in (US) that it wouldn't get dinged for export/import. I've only taken a pin once from Canada to the States, and I didn't get hit with any fees, but sounds like I was just lucky. I even stated that it was for a trade. I did however get taxed on the pin I brought back from the US into Canada in the trade, but I was expecting that.
There shouldn’t be any crazy fees with a machine made in US going back to the US.
The fees and duties come into play when doing commercial shipping because the whole truck or container has to clear customs and sti/NAVL required the use of a broker to do the paperwork. It’s like $350 -$400.
This is why I’m looking for a private transport option.
Quoted from pinballjah:Sounds like, the key is to have a receipt under $2,500 US from the seller and you are good to go.
Unless a US citizen brings it over. If US citizen no duty and no tax if machine made in US.
Even if going tax route it is a hell of a lot cheaper than having NAVL or Sti do it.
Quoted from Dee-Bow:Are u asking a Canadian to commit fraud for you!!?? Because we would never!! This thread is to sell us YOUR pins
Not sure where you came up with that idea. I’m asking for someone to help transport a pin for me like I have done in the past and whatever it costs it costs. Pretty simple if you ask me.
The pin I’m looking to get isn’t all the expensive anyhow. Pinside values it at like $2000US.
Quoted from Dee-Bow:I'm totally kidding bud!!! Except for the sell us your pins !!
Lol...wish I could help with that!
Quoted from Linkage:Section 321 entry. Allows goods value under $800 USD into the sates without brokerage. Perfect for "project" machines.
I’ve seen this but doesn’t apply to my situation.
