Vintage Amiga system with different COO
Summary: The discussion revolves around a vintage Amiga system with different Countries of Origin (COO). The participants are sharing their knowledge and experiences with the Amiga system, discussing its variations across different regions and possibly the implications of these COO differences. Participants express interest and engagement in understanding more about the variations and historical context of this iconic system.
I have seen post concerning this problem, but never with any diffinitive answer. I am trying to sell my old Amiga 600. (Niche item, most likely sold to U.S.) The computer is made in the Phillipines, the power supply and mouse are made in Malaysia, the pcmcia adapter and card are made in China. When I go to the listing page, it gives me one listing COO option. I was going to put Phillipines and add the other options when doing customs. Is this posible?
I do not yet qualify for EIS. Any thoughts for how to do this, who to ship with to accomodate all customs requirements
I had this listed, and ended it, realizing I was in over my head.
Thank you in advance for any thoughts!!

·2 months agoHi.
If not using EIS you need to list each item seperately on the Customs manifest. Give each item it's own price, weight and COO. They need to add up to the totals for the set of items.
Each item needs it's own line on the form. eBay forms have at least 5 lines but you can add more at the bottom. Weigh each item. Just use a reasonable guess for each price as long as they together add up to the selling price.
Note: If there's an internal battery you may need to remove it depending on it's type for the courier and the destination country's Import Restrictions. Otherwise it will be turned away or destroyed. If the courier and the country allows a certain type of battery you may still need to pull it out of the unit, clearly mark the type and package it seperately.
Some couriers will ship ground but not air. I'd go with Canada Post if you have no battery issues.
To be safe do your due dilligence and check with the courier's web site for further info.
Here's a link to an article UPS has I found helpful : regulated-items/prohibited-items/laptop
Good luck with it!

OP2 months agoThanks for this. People are so helpful on this site.
Ebay has got so much more complicated over the years, mainly thanks to these tarriffs.
I think I will part the computer out into all of its individual parts. Different COO for each item. They will be listed as buy it only. Then make a note in the main computer listing, that I will look at best offers for the buyer of the computer. Each item will be shipped seperately, no combined shipping.
This is just a hobby to "thin the herd" of excess things. Might have to take less this way. But don't care that much. Some items are probably not worth listing.
Fortunately, with this computer, the only battery is a coin battery, that is non-rechargable.
Again you people always come through!!!

·2 months agoI suspect you might get more for it parting it out, but it might take a lot longer to sell everything. Don't be afraid of just selling within Canada either (at least until you get accepted into eIS).
