Buying from Europe

I believe you are allowed to purchase items to value of $800 from outside the USA before you are supposed to incurr any tariffs.
And of course it all depends on how the seller lists price and items on their paperwork.
I have bought numerous vinyl from Europe and a couple of phono cartridges from Japan.
All with zero issues, most expensive was a cartridge at $869, technically some tarrif but I was never asked for any additional funds from anywhere.

Never had any interference from our tax masters.

I bought a pair of Rogers LS3/5A's from a seller in Lithuania via EBAY. $650 + shipping. Arrived safely - well-packed! No custom fees. Very good deal!

Thank you to everyone for the input. The item I'm considering is about 1500 USD.

Wow! That’s what I paid for a new pair of Rogers LS3/5a’s back in 1980. 

They must be the 11 ohm versions!

Nothing wrong with them - they sound just fine! And yes, geoffkait, they were even cheaper back in '76 - '77 ($450)! Wish I had bought a pair then!

The price ($650) was right! How could I pass them up! Maybe the best sounding small-box speakers (others will disagree)!
