There are no
taxes on sail imports, and no STATE taxes on any kind of imports. Imports are a federal matter, and they may apply TARIFFS and
IMPORT DUTIES to anything that comes into the country. And they will vary depending on WHERE the goods are coming from.
And if it isn't shipped by postal
service, you'll need to pay a brokerage fee as well. If you're getting
sails from
China, ship 'em
China Post, the rest of the world still subsidizes China as a developing nation, to their overseas postal rates are a joke.
Right now a lot of tariffs are under argument for change. Ask a vendor that oyu may be dealing with, if they say "We don't know" they're neither sailmakers nor clerks, find another one.
