Question ID: 318048
I am shipping some furniture (2 sofas.,  2 arm chairs, 2 ottamans)
from South Africa totalling about US $10,000 in value.  Do I have to
pay customs duty when it gets to the US?  How much would it be and
what is it based on?

Dear singaporegirl,

According to the United States International Trade Commission's 2004
Tariff Database, there are no duties for furniture of the kind you
described if imported from countries the United States have Normal
Trade Relations (NTR) with. South Africa belongs to the NTR countries.
