[QUOTE="ScottulusMaximus, post: 1091046, member: 18165"] It shouldn't be but using forwarders it generally is, they just use the total invoice amount for the customs VAT value as this is technically the FOB cost of the shipment. You will struggle to get a retailer delivering to a forwarding address to remove sales tax, can be done with smaller companies used to exporting but you've got no chance at the big guys. Duties if applicable are charged on the line item value not total invoice amount. Doing a "regular" old school import the seller won't be charging you local sales tax so the issue doesn't arise.
