UK to US shipping - hep please

Thanks. Wonder what Uncle Sam's rationale was for that.

There is usually something about how likely it would be for you to find such an item "made in your country." There is something about photo equipment not being subject to duty in Canada (I should check that but I'm almost sure) because there are no manufacturers in Canada. That's the reason why duty on garments and shoes is so high in Canada, anyway.

Not sure how that works for bike racks though.

I can't think of a single bike rack made in the USA except for custom-made.

However, I actually just stumbled on a chrome-plated steel rack at Velo Orange which is inline with my needs and not going to double the cost of my errand bike.

So, after all the willing hep from yawl, I'm ordering domestic. I am now armed with the knowledge though so if this rack doesn't work I can go back to the orginal plan without bugging you.

PS - going ahead and beat me with a wet noodle for this PITA exercise.

You are absolutely correct.
