I recently sent a Revox B77 tape deck to Japan. It weighed ovr 45 pounds so I HAD to send it by air, through USPS, and it cost, with insurance, close to $200. The buyer didn't mind. Under that weight, as yours would probably be, it would have been less. I don't know about duty--again, my buyer wasn't worried and didn't want me to declare a lower value than what he paid me. Their electricity must be the same--again, my buyer knew what he was getting and was okay with 120V 60Hz. But I'm not absolutely sure. Hope this is a little help. More advice should be coming in. You can call UPS and FedEx on this, but USPS was cheaper for me.
Shipping to Japan? Any advice?
I have a gentleman in Japan that wants to buy my Theta Gen Va, I'm looking for help or advice on doing this. Are there tariffs, duties ect. Will the unit even work with thier voltages. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
