How do I Buy Imported Nikon Cameras?
- 1). Purchase the Nikon camera you want to import after confirming the camera is authentic by checking the serial number with the manufacturer.
- 2). Pay for the camera and negotiate a period of time you can return if not satisfied.
- 3). Complete and file the U.S. Customs Form 7501. By completing this paperwork and filing it with the U.S. Customs Department, you will save time once your camera reaches the United States.
- 4). Have the camera shipped to your address in the United States. Nikon single-lens reflex cameras fall under the United States International Trade Commission subheading of 9006.51.00 in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. These cameras are subject to 20 percent duty, which is levied when the camera arrives in the United States.
- 5). Pick up your camera and pay the appropriate duty and taxes, or have the payment ready if the camera is delivered to your door.
