I had no problems what so ever with customs when I ordered my kit. It was shipped via DHL and only took 4days after it was shipped. The battery could not go via DHL because it was considered hazardous it took about 3 weeks to arrive but no problems and no customs fees.
This is the company that I used webpage --->

If you want to order from them and would like the contact person I used let me know she has excellent English and answered all my many questions
Nicely done and good info.
How long does the battery take to charge and did that also ship from BTN in China ?
If so, was it by sea due to hazardous material ?
Yes the battery was also from the same place but I'm not sure how it was shipped.
I don't know for sure how long it takes to charge when fully discharged left it overnight for the first charge as instructed. I don't run it down that low usually charge when half discharged or before and don't watch it that closely when I do but it is charged withing 4 hrs. There are chargers that put out more amperage and will charge faster
You contact the company by email for the latest prices once you have an idea what you want here is who I talked to via email great english nice lady--->
