Just a heads up. I've ordered from Kaon over the years in Australia. Good products, awesome service and quick shipping.

Placed an order this week for:
Auto Levelling Headlight Corrector Bracket to suit Toyota Prado 150/250, LandCruiser LC200/300 and Battery Fuse Bracket to suit Toyota LandCruiser LC200 x 2

Shipping was around $100 USD. The big surprise was I got a request from UPS to complete a customs form: Section 232 Metal Form.
Had to fill out metal content (Alu, Steel, Copper), location of cast/smelt, weight, metal % etc. Kaon was very quick in providing me these details. Submitted completed form back to UPS.

Got another email today from UPS requesting payment of duty fees:
1787151653655.webp



Some pretty pricey brackets. Can't imagine the duties on heavier metal items they sell.
