Taxes Import Export

[dowy]

HI!

I was recently in thailand and bought some clothing, which i would like to sell in the usa. I bought only a few things and put them on ebay. so, a few quistions.

1. is there an export tax to take things out of thailand(if i buy more)?

2. is there an import tax into the usa?

3. someone wants me to ship them (an item i have now) to france...so... a)usually when you ship out something you have to declare the country of origin, does anyone know what the perpouse of this is - ie, is it relevant that it was made in thailand, and B ) will there be import tax in france.

Ok i know thats a really broad quistion and some of it doesnt even have anything to do with thailand , still if anyone knows anything about taxes i would greatly apreciate some info or at least a reference. Thanks all!
