Interesting optimization result!

A good moment to grab a beer...

  Hello,

Is there any country that does not tax Lego imports?

Yes, the USA doesn't. However, individual states charge sales tax.

USA imports are exempt under the Section 321 de-minimas rule, up to $800
USD per day. If someone orders a large amount of LEGO from a single non-USA seller,
and they ship it all in one package with a proper customs declaration form, then
the Section 321 rule does not apply.

The seller could, in theory, break it up into multiple packages and ship them
spaced out to avoid this.

Yes but...

"CBP can also deny the exemption if it has reason to believe that a shipment
is one of several lots covered by a single order or contract but shipped separately
in order to obtain the benefits of the exemption."

More interesting is then, and especially in the case of LEGO Sets, Parts or any
items (Plastic Toys 950300 or 95030035), what would be the import fees in USA?

Like some % for the Country, or local Sales Tax (+ duty clearance fees)?

There aren't any duties on 9503 items in the USA, generally speaking, so
I don't think the $800 de minimus limit of Section 321 applies. That's
for items that *do* have tariffs or duties.

Good to know, I shipped some big orders there and didn't receive any news
about extra payments as I feared.

Ah just what I thought - happy it didn't change!

I say "generally speaking" because there are exceptions, like if you're
importing to the USA from Cuba there is a 70% duty.

Ouch, that hurts.
But still safer than to import Cuban cigars - apart if this changed

Of course consult with a lawyer (of which I'm not one) if you're importing
truly large amounts of Lego!

Your Country taxes imports.

Exports aren't taxed.

I don't understand the question, or maybe try to move to Liechtenstein?
