Help on importing vintage cameras from Germany to the USA
I am in Germany on a buying trip to purchase vintage camera equipment for resale. The value will certainly be over $2500. I am getting conflicting information about what is involved. I simply want to send a few boxes of these items to my business address in PA. I’d appreciate any suggestions regarding the cheapest and most efficient way to get this done. Right now, I’m afraid of spending significant money here and I only have 4 days left.

There is no cheap way, to send valuable merchandise. I will strongly suggest using DHL Express to ship your parcels. You will likely have import fees attached, as well.
Shipping household goods, is the cheapest way, but merchandise, is not considered, household goods.
Contact DHL and ask them. We do not trust any other international carriers.

Either carry them with you or ship them. They are Used Parts on which you will use to restore merchandise in your shop, there is no duty. We do the exact same thing 4 times a year, but carry them with us in as many as 16 suitcases. Hope you found some Zenits, they are good sellers in the USA.
