I know it's been discussed to death, but I'm still confused on how it actually works.
I've read many times here that aduanas won't charge for an item that cost under $200. Is this a rule of thumb or is it a "you usually won't get charged..."?
Even if it's a "rule of thumb", why do some shipping services tend to include customs fee in the shipping cost (EPS)?
And who opens that package before I receive it? I purchased some shoes, and I noticed that the package was open. Did eps open it or was it customs?
What about items over US$200? What are the fees for that?
If I were to purchase an item from the US for under $200 with free shipping within the US, what is the cheapest way to get it here?
Thanks for the help.
