New Import (cheap) Dro For The Traytop

The minor issue of language didn't run me off from the product, I bought a second one for my Clausing lathe. This time I specified that the DRO be in English and the seller happily agreed. There was about a week delay because the seller took a vacation but upon his return I received the DHL shipment 3 days later. This time I bought the longest scale, the 1000mm for the X and a 350 for the Y.

I decided to leave the scale long and mount the reader head on the back side of the carriage so I could run the cutter way past center:

Looking good! I assume the quality seems good which inspires this question, did you end up having to pay customs duties or anything? Ive been a bit afraid of that because who knows what magic someone would dream up.
 
The Ebay price was $220 shipped, that's all I paid for each DRO. Now I'm contemplating a 3 axis for my other Bridgeport.
