Self Imports from China

Has anybody had experience with self importing tuners and other musical items from China or Vietnam? What has the import duty been if any? Vietnam and China are both countries well represented on ebay.

I use these ones Bob, they're incredible value for money. I also buy the gibson style ones, theyre a bit more. I havent found anyone listing the ones like u pictured but left handed, if i could that';d be ultimate, love to just stock right up on both sides that match each other.

I just received 10 sets of tuners like those pictured...Gibson style, 3 lefts and 3 rights...so 60 total...

I could sell some if anybody wanted them..I am guessing around $15 plus shipping...

My only problem local is nobody carries cheap tuners for the guy that rebuilds 70 guitars that are worth any money anyway, I dont want to put $100 guitar center tuners on a $50 guitar! Bridge pieces and tail pieces are impossible to get local and live in Kalamazoo home if famous guitars. I need to start a store online

I buy plenty of stuff from Hong Kong & China via ebay, but so far haven't done a bulk shipment. Getting decent Schaller copy tuners (like the pic) at around $10.00 set delivered. I reckon a proper bulk order of 100 sets or so would drive the price down much more.

Bob if you can get ping like tuners for $14 that is a awesome price, I paid $18 from a friend in China, lost contact with him but the internet is a good thing, My daughter is from the Hong Kong area, There are a lot of knock off products that are just as good, on the other hand, a lot of American companies are in the Hong Kong area and have things made there

If you can get ping like tuners for $14 ...I would jump on that, that is a reall good deal. I shop around and try to avoid ebay, to much of a pain in the axx for me. Different vendors carry imported parts and prices vary. I know dont buy unless it is made here, nothing is maded here, might as well save money and get it at a low price. besides it is for your hobby.
