I'm 100% with Rene on this - a "Business Import License" is only required if you are a business importing restricted goods, especially firearms, but also various agricultural goods - Photos situation may have been because he was actually doing the importing himself, in absentia
I've brought in large parts that had to come truck freight, and the trucking company takes care of the "importing", with delivery to a bonded warehouse where you pick up the parts and pay the taxes, NO duties ... except their outrageous freight costs of course, and the truckers brokerage fees weren't too bad
these parts we get are for
personal use and are considered as such unless you are obviously a business reselling them
Gerg, I'd question wether you actually paid
duty, or just the brokerage and taxes, and if you start talking to them about a "Business Import License", I think you're gonna find yourself assessed a lot more than they already took!
