hmmm . . my import duties were only $43.44 + $5 duty advance fee for a grand total of $48.44. I ordered my kilt and sporran from scottishkilts.net. From all of the "horror stories" I've heard about ordering from overseas, I was a little nervous. But, after talking with John Paul (McDougall) and James McNeill from TartanWeb/ScottishKilts, I felt allot better about the shipping and import duties. Once I received my kilt, that was it. Then about a week later, I received a "Customer Duty Invoice" from DHL Express. I have to admit, I didn't want to open it at first. Well, I opened it and, saw the total due was $48. So, I was shocked that it wasn't $100+. But I agree, it does create a good argument that, buying from American vendors (for those living in America) might be the better route.
