Also, Drew if you need help I am more than willing to give you advice.
I'm not willing to import it for you though as I don't want to get into 'supply' for tax and other reasons which I can PM you about.

If you are really serious, I can help you as I have all the forms you need for a DNA kit and know the correct boxes to tick.

To import depends on the price of the kit you import (It's between 1 and 3% tax) and then customs clearance and shipping agent fee. In the grand scheme of things it doesn't add up to much. I can look up what I paid if that's any help.

would you have to do the same for a dave jones kit?

I can't say what the actual shipping will cost you (in the region of $1100 for mine) but the other costs break down a little something like this...

If the kit you're bringing into the country is covered by the requirements of the DOT then you will have to pay 2-3% of whatever you paid for that part.
 
If your parts are not covered by the DOT (Which I would suggest they aren't as you will have to prove conformance to the laws such as bumper requirements for pedestrian safety etc) it will cost you 1% of the cost of the part / parts.

If you bring say a DNA into the country AS A KIT then it is possible to identify the parts as not DOT ready so you will pay 1% of whatever you paid for the kit. So if you buy a $1000 dollar kit, you will have to pay $10 in importation tax. If the kit is $10,000 dollars you pay $100 dollars (if you get the idea )

There are other costs you need to allow for. The next is bond money to bring your kit in. This is a mighty $5.50 per $1000 dollars value of whatever you're bringing in. So again if your kit costs $10,000 then you will pay $55 as a bond.
Note: there is a minimum bond cost of $55 so if the kit was only $1000 bucks you would still be hit with a $55 bond charge.

Finally (yes there's more) it is best to ask your shipper to act as a broker for you (as I'm guessing you have no importation license of your own!) The price of this can vary but the one that DNA uses charged me $105 and for that amount I was happy for them to deal with the Feds for me!

Oh and there's the $20 to give the driver of the truck who drops the crate off at your house - they are really nice guys and think they deserve it 

Seriously though, to bring a $10,000 kit into the country its going to cost you $100 tax + $55 bond + $105 agent fees and the actual shipping cost. A $20,000 kit - $200 tax + $110 bond + 105 shipping agent fee.

Hope this helps everyone who's thinking of bringing something in. When you get to the 'its shipping - what do I do now' give me a pm and I will send the documentation to you and suggest which boxes to tick! 

The kit is worth a costly to bear. Better to get some other to alternate it. It's difficult to import it.
