    I wrote to scottishkilts.net to ask this very question (related to who they ship via as has been discussed here before).

    Here is the answer they sent back:
    __________________________________________
    Thank you very much for your order.

    Please note that your order will be dispatched via International Datapost, this method is through the US Postal service and 99% of the time cuts out any duty and taxes that would usual apply with FedEx and UPS.

    Please also note that you will receive an email with the tracking reference once your Kilt has been dispatched.

    Kind regards,

    John Paul McDougall,
    Scottish Kilts Customer Care.

    I suspect their shipping method and the low cost of the Irish-American kilt will = no duties.

    The kilts I have gotten from the UK have all be marked as "gift" when they are sent through Royal Air Mail. That seems to do the trick as I never have had a problem getting them through or have had to pay duty. Maybe you can ask them to mark it that was a "belts over the suspenders" measure

    Thumbs up

    I am certain I gave the wrong website to start off with, and mean scottishkilts.net.

    Sounds like I got the odds on my side.

    There should not be any duty on a purchase under $200.
