I buy cartridges every so often from European and Asian sellers. Never had to pay customs duties until today, $26 on a new Kontrapunkt bought directly from Ortofon. Maybe I've been lucky up until now...I've never had to pay duty on anything that came from Europe or Asia.

Ortofon still has Kontrapunkts on hand?
There is a part of their website called Treasure Trove, they sell refurbished cartridges. They have had Rohmans, Jubilees and a few others. They sell at a reduced price and generally sell out quickly. You need to register(free)and the price is a little lower when you register. They will ship to the USA. Despite the UPS surcharge, the price on a new Kontrapunkt A was pretty reasonable.TR

Thanks.
I still find it strange that they will not retip one of their carts but that they can rebuild some and sell them like that.
The credit they offer towards a new cart is not that generous I find.
The more into retirement I get, the stingier I become.
It was a charge collected by UPS, so they charged $25 for 3 day shipping from Denmark and a $26 surcharge to deliver the package in the USA! I hardly ever use UPS, at least the price of the cartridge was pretty good.

Yeah, that's what I suspected. Tough luck. :(

It was collected by UPS.
