Selling stuff overseas is easy. It simply requires a Customs
declaration form, which details the contents/value of the goods in the
package. It's up to Customs at the *receiving* country as to whether or
not Excise duty and VAT are worth collecting.
Banding stuff together is more likely to attract the charges than if
individuals buy from the 'States in drib'n'drabs. I often buy stuff
from overseas and rarely do I have to pay duty. It almost always
happens because the supplier has sent out large numbers of packages, to
different individuals in the UK, in one batch. This makes C&E think
that someone's trying to deliberately avoid the duty.
I'd say the company you're dealing with in USAland can't be arsed.
In any event, a product manufactured for US sale then imported over here
would count as a "grey" import. Local dealers would probably argue
about warranty claims, should they arise. Obviously, this is far less
likely to be an issue for books and CDs than it is DVD players, ebook
readers, and the like.
