I'm looking for the rate of duty that would be charged on a mouse imported from
the US.  I'd phone Customs, but can you imagine explaining a mouse to them?
I wonder if anyone knows the best rate for a mouse or possibly a digitizing
tablet (bitpad) which is probably the same.

In return, I offer some rates, just under a year old, which are surprising:
   semiconductors, printers, disk drives -- no duty
   boards for computers                  -- 6.3%
   software                              -- no duty OR FST
I believe card punches and similar clunky devices are also duty-free.  As a
reminder:  landed price = USprice * exchange * duty * FST(9%) + shipping.

Last summer, I brought an Epson MX80 in for $680, all inclusive, which is
still a pretty good price (from Jade in Calif., which I recommend).
