Well, you would save the customsbrokers fees, whatever they may be... $100
and up... and yes, you would normally still pay duties.

If you question is centered on a way to avoid duties for some economic
advantage, forgeddaboudit... the hassles of too many too small shipments
will drive you crazy. plus your customers don't care as much about price as
they do about new... so dont worry too much about what something costs, worry
more about if customers will pay a price that covers all the costs.
