Hello Roger:
I'm surprised your item came in duty free through FEDEX. What was the amount of your order? My order arrived Wednesday from MSL for a little over $1,400.00 and I was automatically charged $195.00 for duty and FEDEX broker fees. An order last week from another German dealer was under $800.00 and was shipped through standard Deutsche Post/US Postal system with no duty or fees due.
Thank you, Paul

IF yiou live in the USA I presume the cost will go up in model shops. However buying from the UK or EU may be cheaper but delivery costs could be high. It is not just model trains that will cost more in the USA but all items from China. the only answer to this is political but we should remember that is not suitable for this forum.
Take care I like Marklin and will defend the worlds greatest model rail manufacturer.
