Sorry, may be I am repeating the question.
My brother and I are developing a software and we need few modems to buy from China for that. I am in France and I can pay to the supplier in china directly using either Western Union or Bank TT. We basically need around 50 modems and price of each modem is around 8 USD (we hope that we can buy it in 7USD/pcs).
Anyway, now question is, do my brother need any license to import these? Can I just order it on his name and then he can get it cleared from customs? and any idea which taxes/duties we have to pay? I have checked imports rules and find out that import duty for these modems is 5%. Can someone answer in detail with rought numbers/% for different taxes he has to pay?
