Hi if you are selling direct to the end user e.g on Amazon or eBay or own website the tax free threshold to the U.S. Is $200 USD as long as total items in the pacakge are under this amount, this applies for most goods they will not attract any duty or tax it presented and exported correctly when shipping individual orders to the United States. Mexico same rules apply but the tax free amount is $300 USD.

Hi Mark,

Do you plan exporting to business buyers USA in volume , or perhaps direct or drop ship to private individuals ?
