Viberg Boots

Bobby Peru said:

I am in the US, and plan to purchase a pair of boots from Viberg. Has anyone in the US who has purchased directly from them in Canada been hit with import duties?

Another option I'm considering is ordering locally via one of their official dealers.

Any input would be welcomed.

I don't think you need to pay import duty if goods is below $800, which I think most Vibergs are unless you want to purchase a shell cordovan model.
I didn't order directly from Viberg but I did order 2 pairs from Brooklyn Clothing in Calgary and Lost&Found in Toronto last year. Delivered by UPS to Mass and no import duties.

Thank you for the response. You must be looking over my shoulder because shell cordovan boots is what I plan to order! Since they're over $1000 I don't know what type of duty (if any) to expect.

You should go on https://www.reddit.com/r/goodyearwelt/ and ask in the common question thread that is posted daily in the morning. Don't know about here on FDL but quite a few posters on that subreddit has bought Viberg shell and are from the US. There is also a new thread of someone getting a pair of black shell Viberg on the frontpage. You can ask him/her also.

No problem. If you are committed you better buy fast. A preordered Viberg shell model was posted on their website at $1250 before tax a few months ago. Viberg has always kept their shell model at $1090 all these years so this might signal a price increase in the future.
