Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater really important stuff!! (US Citizens!)

Hey guys,

my speakers shipped from Axiom, they are now at US Customs, being that I am a canadian, I have no Tax number or SSN. Before I swindle a friend or relative into filling out a customs form for me, will they be charged taxes or anything? To all you US axiom owners, did you get charged duties when getting your speakers from Canada?

If I don't get them their information within 5 days, the will send the speakers back!!! EEP!

I didn't get no duties on my speakers. I'm not sure, but I don't think there are duties on stuff coming into the U.S.

There are no duties if they are manufactured in Canada, unless they are classified as softwood lumber that is.

nope, just paid the price listed on axiom's website and that is all

What's the value on the shipment? I don't think they should be asking you for anything. But my shipments have all been under $1000 lately.

$2400 USD, Do any of you volunteer to fill out a form for me? hehehe (Am just kidding, partially)

Am I missing something here, You place your order, you wait (while refreshing the tracking number about 14 billion times no doubt) and you get your speakers.

Simple as that.

Clearly he's received a form from customs instructing him to fill out something or other. I got a phone call about something similar when I shipped some artwork from Italy where they mistakenly said the value was $20K rather than $200. Unfortunately, I don't remember the details.

Its a US Customs form, since I have no SSN or Tax number, I need a someone with a SSN or Tax # to vouch for my order, or they send the stuff back. I have friends & relatives that can possibly do this for me, just trying to get in touch with them.

Can you contact Customs regarding the form? Perhaps if you speak generally and not describe your order (eg, don't give them the tracking number) you can get information without putting your own order at risk for return.
