YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

I recently purchased a Burberry Trench Coat in Rome. I didn't actually PLAN to do it, but today I'm sharing why I did, why I chose this particular coat, what it's like buying luxury in another country and how I saved a ton of money! So glad you're here. The sweater I'm wearing here is from J Crew and here's the affiliate link: https://bit.ly/3RoDIsZ To read the latest information from the US government on exemptions, head here: https://help.cbp.gov/s/article/Article-246?language=en_US (also I mistakingly said $1800 was the exemption amount and it's actually $1600 currently and no, I did not admit to tax fraud in this video - my responsibility was to DECLARE the items and they have quite a bit of discretion on collecting the tax based on my experience, but always be prepared to pay the import tax. Also run the numbers to be sure you're actually saving money. And I have kept all my paperwork just in case.) Here's the (affiliate) link for the trench coat (it truly doesn't go on sale and can be tough to find but hopefully there's availability) https://bit.ly/3RnNOKG To join us on Patreon, head here! https://www.patreon.com/jenlefforge Want to send me snail mail?: PO Box 5054, Alpharetta, GA 30023 I hope youโ€™ll come find me on all the other things as well! : โ€ขFacebookโ†’ https://www.facebook.com/JenLefforgeyoutube โ€ขInstagramโ†’ https://www.instagram.com/jenlefforge/ โ€ขWebsite (TO SIGN UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER) โ†’ https://jenlefforge.com/โ€‹โ€‹ Music provided by Epidemic Sound (my FAVORITE source for licensed music - huge library and reasonable monthly rates affiliate link) https://www.epidemicsound.com/referral/p9onii I use AFFILIATE LINKS under almost all of my videos.
