Hi 2005robk.. Sellers are signing on to eBay's new Global Shipping Program. Items are shipped to a collection point within the US and from there to final destination. Import charges are calculated and paid up front rather than on delivery.

Duty on running shoes is , i think , 18% , taxes etc, I do not know what fees are charged. Do you have a breakdown of that amount.

For those who are use to a good percentage of imported item arriving without any charges that is eliminated.

When looking at a listing under price, shipping..will see import charges..To be provided at checkout. Tells you seller is shipping via.
