Has anyone shipped a bike internationally? I'm trying to

>It's a used road bike from the 60s

You're going to pay more in shipping fees than the bike is worth you mong. Trash it and just buy a new one wherever you end up.

I'm not concerned about the value of the bike itself, I just really would like to have a bike from my time in Sicily/Italy. Thanks for your useful tips, excellent use of green text.

It's looking like it'd be like 150 euro to get it to Cali if I take it with me when I fly but I'm not sure about duty fees/taxes or whatever. Does it apply in my case?

>btw it's a De Rosa

My only experience is buying shit from chinese exporters, but generally in the US you won't get hit with any import tax so long as the item is under $5k or so, and isn't something that will piss off the FDA like dairy products.

Although this was stuff like flashlights/batteries and a tablet- not something as large as a bike. I heard DHL can be a pain in the ass though.

The fact its used won't make a difference.

Just buy some clunker wherever you go then sell it when you leave

Italy to Munich is inside the EU, so there aren´t any duty fees at all. No idea about your other questions though.

Take it in the plane with you. I flew from France to Canada with an old bike. Wrapped it in pipe insulation and taped a cardboard box to the rear derailleur. Survived fine. Cost 100$ CAD as luggage. They threw it when it arrived though. But no problems. If you have layovers probably more expensive.

Just check the airlines. Don't ship it.

You own the thing. You only pay duties when you've bought something. If you're not staying longer than 2 weeks might wanna look into renting a bike.
