Thank you! I was wondering do you pay import tax. I read yes on some threads and no on others.

No. I don’t/haven’t. I can’t speak to others. I use From Japan.

don't think i've ever paid an import tax but not sure. another thing to keep in mind is that any questions you have about an item must be asked by your proxy bidder which they may or may not do.
i've had good luck on my imports which are about a dozen or so arrange balls over the years. the one time i got burned was receiving a non working machine which was my fault for not doing my due diligence.

I have used From Japan many times over the past several years and never had to pay an import tax into the US. Of many machines purchased I had only bought one pachislo and the shipping was very high given the larger size and weight. Some shipping options like Fed-Ex Economy were put on hold due to Covid19 due to restrictions so you may want to check out your shipping options before making a purchase.
