How much is shipping and import tax to US directly from Prime 1?

So there are a couple of statues that Sideshow is either sold out of or not offering a payment plan on that Prime 1 still has in stock and offering payment plans on both of the statues I want.

The price is the same, but Prime 1 notes that I am responsible for shipping and import tax.

Does anyone know how much a 1/3 statue costs to ship from Prime 1 to the US?

How much is the import tax on a 1/3? Is it based on price or weight or what?

If both are reasonable I'm going to sign up for a couple of payment plans directly through Prime 1 then.

Depends what you're ordering, some 1/3 statues are bigger than others...

The 1/3 AK Joker was about $170 in shipping directly from Prime 1...

Specifically the Suicide Squad Deadshot & Harley:

I'd imagine shipping for those 2 would be similar to that $170 mark? Can Prime 1 give me exact shipping costs before I order?

$170 seems a bit high, I think I can get it cheaper on ebay in the US, however the ease of the payment plan with them does offer a much easier option to buy them than dropping a grand at a time.

What about this import tax?

For the US I only saw a shipping/handling fee...

I'm guessing those Harley/Deadshot are around the 170 mark since the base is quite heavy.

You might want to try emailing SideShow if they can do a payment plan for you on Harley...

Yeah I've tried a couple of times through chat support, it's weird I got Joker on payment and on the payment plan for the SS Batman, so not sure why they won't do it on Harley. I think they're under 20 pieces in stock. It's a great deal they're offering on her right now, just don't really have the $900 i need to drop on her all at once right now, so I'm probably gonna miss out on her from SS.

There are no duties on individual statues coming into the U.S. (at this time).

Cool thanks for that info.

How does shipping work, they charge you that after your final payment or at the same time as the final payment?

You need to add the statue to your cart and then checkout (without buying of course). Then you get the exact shipping total. Those two statues should be around $180 each.

Ok yeah shipping is $178 to me.

Do they make you pay shipping at the time of final payment, or does it get pushed to the following month as a new payment?

I'm not sure what I want to do, I can probably get both cheaper in the states, I'll just need to come up with the chunk vs chipping away with payments. Hmm. Maybe I'll keep an eye on Prime1's website and they'll put Harley & Deadshot on sale like they're doing with Joker.
