It's interesting. Space Moose and I are in the same city (well I am in the 'burbs). He ordered an 8 yard kilt from Kilt Store and got hit with almost $198 in duties and taxes for his kilt. I on the other hand ordered an 8 yard kilt from Scottishkilts.net and only got hit with $37.91 for duties and taxes.

The main issue I think is that Kilt Store uses Fed Ex and Scottishkilts uses UPS. Both companies act as brokers and can use their own guides and charges for duty.

This was one of the main reasons I went with Scottishkilts instead of Kilt Store, as both had great prices on kilts and both gave me great customer service.
