Vat is no problem, you get it refunded as business. Import tax is the only thing that you really have to pay for. And that limit went up quite a bit for the EU.

Isn't that illegal, unless it is for personal use?

I don't think it's a problem.

I know from experience, when I've ordered products from the U.S., and they specified a wholesale value on the declaration (the value specified was significantly less than what I paid ... it was obviously the wholesale value).

And these were purchases from a well known, well established, medium sized business.  So it's evidently their standard business practice to specify the wholesale value on the declaration.  It's to their customer's benefit for them to do this (providing it's permissible by law, as appears is the case).

Regarding the value of goods shipped, the only time the U.S. government would care, would be for BIG DOLLAR shipments, costing in the thousands (ie, sending jewellery through the mail), which would be scrutinised to see whether it's a form of money laundering.

But for small value shipments, why would they care ?  It's not as though they levy an "export tax" on the value of goods sent.

Obviously the foreign country where the goods are being received would prefer to have the retail price specified, to levy their import duties.  But the taxes charged by foreign governments would be of NO CONCERN to the U.S. government.  And U.S. companies only to need to abide by U.S. law - they are not bound by the laws of foreign jurisdictions.

Visitor Q:
Suggestion....

Why not make these in bat tops as well? No one really has done it so you could be the first!

Bat tops would require a whole different process, so they wouldn't be the same.  But I have been looking at a few ways to make replacement bat tops.  Just none that have been as economical, unfortunately.

When is GGG going to start selling the Electric Ice Lighted Joysticks?

The real answer to that one is "three months ago" Wink

We have been offering them upon request, and regularly to our panel builder customers.  RGB is not yet available, however.

If you are looking for a mono color lighted variety, drop me an email.
