Hey,
those who ordered directly from Aero site - did you guys have to pay any import duties when your shipment arrived at US customs from Scotland?
Thanks!

Yes but the import duties were only nominal amounts for jackets that I received and received invoices in the mail at later times. Unless you are absolutely 100% certain regarding sizing, I strongly recommend placing your order(s) through Carrie at Thurston Brothers in Seattle where possible guesswork is eliminated, including duties. The actual dollar amount is approximately the same whether you buy directly through Aero or Thurston.

Import duties seem to be hit or miss. I've had to pay import duty on 2 of the jackets I've purchased direct from Aero, and for the rest, I got lucky. I don't know why. Might be if the jacket is pre-owned it doesn't get charged? Or if the declared value is beneath a certain threshold...?

Right, that's what I will do.
Thanks!
