Please also note this information, which
eBay requires all sellers who offer international shipping to include in their
listings:
Import duties, taxes, and charges are NOT
INCLUDED in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's
responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine
what these additional costs will be prior to bidding / buying. These charges
are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you
pick the item up - do not confuse them for additional shipping charges. We do
not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts" - US
and International government regulations prohibit such behavior.
