Thank You Lizzardo.
That information was much appreciated. As I had said on another string I just assume 22% on any item I send down. When I sent appliances and cabinets down the rate was all over the place 22% for the gas dryer but 12% for the clothes washer. Gas dryer must be a luxury. I guess they figure you have the sun to dry your clothes.

Any country discourage imports.
If they don't do it, they should from a National Economics view. It is actually in general not so bad here in Aruba, considering their "VAT" is only 3%. Many countries have 16-25% VAT and then the import duty on top of that. The only complaint I have is that the different rates are often illogical. If they would take 10% across the board that would be ok. When I order online from the US, I normally are taxed 12% total. From my personal experience for the last two years, I would even say that the time that Aruba customs take to handle your deliveries are far better than their reputation. Not fast, but not as slow as I have heard. P.S. I love the 22% umbrella tax in Liz's post  .Carsten |

 Even with the small amount of rain, how would one use a rain umbrella in Aruba with that wind???  Unless of course we are talking patio umbrellas which would be a necessity, so someone is making sure they get the cut.

I know - it's a crazy un-logical system for sure!!! One note -
I ship down vitamins sometimes - sometimes they make it thru w/ no problem. Right now customs is holding them , had to go sign something and now I think they are reviewing the ingredients..... If you know someone who is coming down have them bring down your over the counter stuff and vitamins!
