    yep, you can carry down up to $500usd of taxable items and no pay anything on it.

    even if it was brand new, as long as the value isnt over US$500 then you can bring it into JA without paying any duties.

    Now I must be a fool...I purchase 3 DVDs from Amazon.com...ship to Miami and then use MailPac.

    The DVDs - $86.00USdeclared value
    Custom charges - $101.00US

    I show you another calculation...

    Outlined below are the respective Entry# as requested:-

    Mia227551- Customs Entry# 529801 - $86.00US

    Mia226509- Customs Entry# 430906


    The Customs breakdown for entry#529801 is as follows:-

    Customs Duty $2609.38
    C.C.T $1965.70
    SCF $ 26.09
    CUF $ 123.96
    ---------
    Sub Total $4675.13
    Stamp 100.00
    Customs Fee 600.00
    --------
    Total $5395.13

    It is: DVDS
    It is from: AMAZON.COM
    It is consigned to: CUSTOMER
    It has declared value of: $81.97

    Number of Pieces: 1
    Weight: 2 lb 9 oz

    Freight $ 9.50 = J$ 622.25
    Insurance $ 0.50 = J$ 32.75
    Customs Duty $ 82.06 = J$ 5375.13
    Clearing Fee $ 7.33 = J$ 480.00
    Gct $ 1.21 = J$ 79.20
    Total $ 100.60 = J$ 6589.33

    11 Cargill Ave. They're better than mailpac as far as I know, based on the responses I get and the number of people switching.
    I really haven't had any difficulties with Mailpac. In what ways is this company better?
