I have a bad feeling as it is over $1k, they are going to sting me for import duties. I dare anyone to actually find any usable information on the Customs website but I think it may be a 5% tariff on top of the purchase price. If it is on top of the overseas fees for my CC, it is basically another 9.5% on top of the purchase price. Best to try and source it locally if that ends up being the case.
There was a bit of info on this in one of the Lego FB pages. No one confirmed about paying additional import taxes but some did say they were in a similar situation and it was due to it being delivered by a different carrier called DAI Post. Might take longer to clear in his case but some have been able to get it released faster by calling DAI.
