    For this you have supply air from outside through a filter (HEPA) into the house to maintain the positive pressure. Your house is not airtight and air will escape so you need constant supply of filtered air to maintain the positive pressure. if filter is not there at the inlet dust will enter.

    Has anyone bought from alibaba.com?

    Actually for faster clearance/shorter dwell time couriers like Dhl/FedEx/Aramex etc proactively pays duty on ALL shipments based on the value declared. They don't wait for customs assessment unless customs specifically wants to do so like the value is suspiciously low, then it's separate issue...

    Has anyone bought from alibaba.com?

    Aramex even cleared my phone case worth 2.4k by paying duty. The item was declared correctly as I never thought a phone case worth 2.4k will be charged customs duty that too at 42%, total I had to pay around 1.2k including Aramex handling charges.

    No problem with eBay. Customs is your luck as usual. But if it's shipped through FedEx/dhl etc duty is inevitable.

    User Review Bosch SMS60L12IN Dishwasher Review

    Nope. Not due to debris. Actually my wife rinses dishes too much before putting in DW and I regularly remind her not to do that and leave it to DW to do its job. The Bosch design is stupid, the circulation pump and heater is a combined unit (sealed). So.......

    Customs duty when buying from Amazon Japan

    Normally Amazon Global shipping includes customs duty and shipping charges at the time of checkout and that has to be paid at that time only. Earlier they used to refund if the actual customs duty charged is less than what they took from you. But later I did not get any such refund.

    Customs duty mainly depends on the shipping agent. I bought a phone case cost of which was around 2.3k and I was sure that I won't be charged customs duty and didn't ask any low value declaration. The seller shipped it through Aramex and after the customs clearance I was shocked that I was...
