So I know that above 75$ they can charge me for tax in Israel. But I bought recently above 100$ and didn't have to pay. Was it a coincidence or is it cuz it arrived with ups? When I bought with Israeli post I paid tax even if I went over 75 with a few cents.
I'm asking because I want buy something expensive that will be delivered with ups and wondering if I'll have to pay tax

Why don't you call UPS and ask them? They have great customer service.

I didn't call. I ordered and if I have to pay tax it's still cheaper than buying in Israel, so will see when it arrives

You pay tax if they catch it. They don't always, I've ordered many times over 75 and never paid tax. I know many people who do - but it's always a risk. Always ask yourself if you get taxed, are you willing to pay that?
