I am not sure, but I would guess it depends on how you go about ordering them. I ordered a few Assos items from someone on ebay that was in Germany (some items shipped out of England though) and I did not pay anything on any of them. Not sure how it would go if you ordered online from a store front, but I doubt you would.
