I’ve shipped about 1200 parcels of specimen shells to US addresses, and
despite the various rumours I’ve never had a problem and I’ve never
known a recipient be charged by customs.

Subject: Importing charges into US
Hi everyone,
I am new at purchasing shells and was considering ordering some
from some dealers outside of the US. I am wondering if anyone has done
this and what charges if any, I would encounter from US Customs or other
charges that might be added on to the cost of shells being shipped to
me.
Matt
