As for Duty, I cannot get any firm estimate given the HSCode of 8458.19.0090 provided by 1F. Thailand’s Website is suspiciously blank on the matter.
That said, you state CETA, and given a brief google for the term, this is something between Canada, and the EU. Thailand does not seem to be listed as a signatory. Please, correct me if I am wrong on this. I’ve been pestering friends and relations to find a way to bring this duty down. Unfortunately, the only way I have found to know what the Duty will be on any give item, is to order the product, and wait for the bill.
In the last year: motorcycle helmet, computer equipment, and decorative signage, have all come in with identical 45% duty. Granted nothing over $400USD
The stated Shipping cost of $1600 is from the 1F site.
Bringing that down to $650 would solve my problem and make me a very happy camper even without a reduction in duty. However, given the weight, and the quotes I’ve been given in the past, (transport of household items) when I first moved here, I suspect this is accurate.
You also state that the Any Surface Leveling System is used on the QCW. The QCW is one of the expenses I was hoping to avoid due to Duty costs.
Will the ASLS work on frames other than QCW?
Second, will it work in the vertical position?
…and Third, how do you measure flex while in the vertical position? I’ve been so focused on eliminating the need for correcting, I neglected the possibility for correcting on the fly (so to speak)
I will search for fishing line methods as suggested and see how to use that. Thank you for the suggestion.
Humidity changes. Good point. I know rainy season and hot, but don’t know the actual humidity percentages. Google to the rescue. Range is 66% in Dec to 79% in Sept. In your estimation, will that be enough to cause issue?
Appreciate all your feedback. I will look into combining ASLS with other methods…
