Default Total cost was .........

Each wheel cost $130, shipping was $287, and the refundable VAT was 16%. The total cost for four high quality German wheels was $937, really $808 when you back out the refundable VAT. The shipping is UPS air express which should take about a week and the shipping includes all insurance. I am planning on using 225/45/17 Michelin Pilot Sports.

Default Don't forget the import tariff

I belive that you have to pay something in import duties to U.S. Customs. I think it's pretty minor (like 4%).

Default What import tariff?

An import tariff was never mentioned. Wouldn't this be treated like I was in Europe and bought some goods and sent them back to the US. Isn't there a dollar limit before the import tariff kicks in.

Default There is a form that needs to be filled out to receive the refund.

This would be just as if I purchased goods in Europe and brought them back to the US. Rondell will supply me with a form to fill out and send back to the German government stating that the goods I purchased have left the country.
