Some sellers will pre-pay the duty, and in doing so they might provide an HS code that is a lower rate and assumes risk of fraud. That's been my experience buying parts internationally on eBay recently. Some of the paperwork was fudged... but not my doing.

For items where the seller hasn't gone through that hassle, DHL tends to send me an email in advance of receiving the item to pay the tariff and their fee for handling it, FedEx however will send this collection email 2 weeks after it's received just when you're starting to think you were in the clear of it. Something to be aware of.

This is my thought as well. If I'm saving on fuel, the trains and cargo ships should be saving much more.

Petrol/gasoline is a much different fuel than what locomotives and ships burn...

One thing I like about AF1 is that if you build a cart and do not buy... You can go back much later (weeks or months) and your loaded cart will still be there.

Before Christmas I built a cart with 5 items:
inner plugs X2 (in stock- ready to ship)
cap & gasket for clutch master cylinder (in stock ready to ship)
silent block (special order imported from Italy)
trim piece (special order import from Italy)

When I built the cart, the total was $153

I went just moments ago and placed to order, the total was $196

No commentary, just the facts & numbers.

Just a question on the silent blocks. For a 1400 right. Are two the
same and one different? I’d like to get a set just to have as at some
point they’ll also be NLA.

I’d actually like to look into removing them and bolt the engine directly
to the frame.

mine is the single one on the CARC reaction arm of my Breva 1100. I don't know anything about the 1400's unfortunately
