DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THERE IS ANY IMPORT DUTY OR TAX ON PIPES IMPORTED FROM THE US TO IRELAND AND AN APPROX PRICE FOR FREIGHT .I HOPE TO BE GETTING A SET FROM SETH GALLAGHER SOON AND ITS A CHOICE BETWEEN COLLECTING THEM MYSELF OR HAVING THEM SENT OVER
I suggest taking a look at…
There is a “Tax & Duty” section on the left side of the page, and a search on bagpipe brought up a document concerning musical instruments.
You may be liable for some VAT, but call your local taxing authority. I’m only an American, and that’s what I can come up with for you. BTW - given the exchange rate right now, it is a favorable time for Euro-based economies to buy American goods.
As long as we are on the subject, and someone will ask…
Importing bagpipes and bagpipe parts into the USA are DUTY FREE. Chapter 92, Section 9205.90.20 and 9209.99.20 found in http://hotdocs.usitc.gov/tariff_chapters_current/0400C92.pdf
All the best.
