 Customs charges on Pillows DVDs (HMV, CDJapan etc...) I'm just curious if anyone that's ordered from HMV or CDJapan has had any customs charges on DVDs? I guess any DVD imports from Japan in general since I just pre-ordered "WE ARE FRIENDS" and I'm buying Pied Piper go to yesterday and 916 (15th) on Friday from HMV (multibuy discount ftw.) XD

Re: Customs charges on Pillows DVDs (HMV, CDJapan etc...) I've ordered CDs from CDJapan before. There aren't any extras customs charges. Whatever their checkout says your total is will be all that you pay.

Hmm... Well that's good... Though technically it could still happen since they're random (like having to pay them when your stuff gets delivered) but hopefully not... It does say this on CDJapan...
[quote]Some countries, including the US, do not charge customs charges on most products available at CDJapan, but many countries do. Below are approximate rates of customs tax and VAT in some countries that we know of.[/quote]
I guess it's only certain things you would get charged for...

Re: Customs charges on Pillows DVDs (HMV, CDJapan etc...) I will note, assuming you put your order on a credit card, your credit card company will probably add a small foreign transaction fee. I got charged 2.05 on my last order from HMV Japan.
The US tends to charge customs on stuff like alcohol and tobacco above a certain amount, jewelry, etc.

Re: Customs charges on Pillows DVDs (HMV, CDJapan etc...) Yeah, I guess that's why the conversion rate on paypal (what I used when I pre-ordered we are friends) was about 2 bucks more than on CDJapan... I checked, and there's a fee of 3% on the card I use... Can't wait for those DVDs...  Especially Pied Piper go to yesterday, a few songs I haven't seen live on there...

Re: Customs charges on Pillows DVDs (HMV, CDJapan etc...) Just got my order from HMV, no customs charges...  I'm sure a bunch of you guys have these already, but here's some pics, brand new and shiny from the plastic...

Re: Customs charges on Pillows DVDs (HMV, CDJapan etc...) That performance of Back Seat Dog is really good, even without Yoko doing backup. I should upload that to my YT.

Re: Customs charges on Pillows DVDs (HMV, CDJapan etc...) Someone is actually doing backup on back seat dog? I thought it sounded like Sawao's voice pitched up...

[/quote] Yoko from Noodles.[/quote] Oh, didn't really catch it... Still sounds like Sawao pitched up to me... I watched 916 and the first disc of Pied Piper Go to Yesterday... Thunder whales picnic, Paris Marie Girl, and Kanojo Wa Kyou were awesome...  I wonder if they shot those DVDs in HD and rendered them to SD... The quality is great...
