Anyone bought from South Korea?

I rarely buy anything from abroad, and if I do it's normally from Europe, the risks & potential extra fees (customs, taxes, etc) have always put me off - but there's a lens I'd like to add to my collection and I wondered what experiences you guys may have had from South Korea :

I have bought a few, no issues whatsoever.

Were the taxes a surprise or were they pretty much as the duty/tax calculators suggest?

I don't remember getting any tbh

Sites like this may help to give an idea of tax and duties to expect

Hi Lenny,

I managed to find an "as new FA* 400 in Seoul, the guys English was excellent, and very helpful too
the duty calculator was about a pound out, so they work OK

Took about 5 days to transit to here from there then 2 weeks in bloody customs!!!!

Thanks guys - looks like the duty calculators are pretty accurate and there aren't too many surprises
