It works in the opposite direction also! I have stopped ordering Utilikilts to be sent from the USA to me here in England because the import duties, taxes, handling fees, documentation fees, etc., etc. have, in the past, added almost 50% of the garment cost to be paid prior to delivery. Fortunately, Megan (of Utilikilts) recently travelled to England and brought two new kilts for me, thereby avoiding all those additional costs!

On the other hand, and this might be because it was a postal shipment rather than one via a courier, my splendid new leather R-Kilt (from Ontario) was delivered last week without a penny of additional charges being levied at this end.

I have a BearKilt on order and am picking that up when I come to Vancouver in two weeks time for The Gathering. Again, I will be avoiding all those charges by including it in with my regular clothing when I return to England mid-August.
