Krale Air Shipping

[bckyrdsnpr52]

I ordered an airgun from Krale Air and paid for the rifle and shipping. When UPS delivered the rifle, I had to pay them and additional 44. 00 to get the package. Has anyone else had this happen with Krale. Another rifle is arriving today, I'm wondering if It's going to cost me more for shipping again.

This is probably duty for the airgun. If it was over (I think $800) the US imposes a duty. I had it for a 3d printer I ordered, since the total order was over $800. I had DHL ask me for payment before delivery.

Yup sounds like a duty tax. Pretty normal over $800

Duty is dooty

I paid a $66 duty on my Uragan 2 from Krale last year.

Wait...
Is there a "duty" due, if received in the United States?
Ive ordered a few different items (never an airgun) from across the pond, and I never had to pay a duty.

Same here, maybe there is a certain dollar amount you need to reach 1st.

Actually, someone just mentioned that.

Some of my "across the pond" purchases were definately over the $800 as someone already suggested.
Perhaps its dependent on where it ships from?
Im googling it now!

When I ordered my first P35 from Krale there was no duty. Then I ordered two in one order and had to pay the duty. I don't know why Krale doesn't collect it but they don't. I paid UPS (their shipper at the time).

Duty fee owed from purchases from the Netherlands has to do with a US import agreement covering one of the Dutch colonies in the Caribbean, which applies to the Netherlands, as well. Should be $66 for any amount over $800, collected by shipper, remitted to US government. WM

CBI, 1971, Netherlands Antilles part of Netherlands Business Enterprise. Duty fee for purchases over $800, $12 Brokerage/$54.99 US government, thanks to Bear-of-Grayling for fact-finding. WM
