**Thu Jul 07, 2005 12:57 pm » Post: #1 » Download Post**

thinking about spending £457.22 with Tyga, aboyt £50 of this is postage so the amount for the goods will be just less than £400.00.

how does the import duty thang work, whats the worst case scenario for me any ideas.

cheers.

I spent about £500 and import tax was about £35 as I recall. that was four years ago, so doubt it's changed much.

WORST case...
Add 21%.
17.5 VAT
3% import duty.

It's supposed to be 17.5% VAT + about 10% Import Duty I seem to recall.

If Parcelforce get involved, i.e. you use "standard" shipping, you will be looking at around £15 for their "administration" which there is absolutely nothing you can do about.

Oh, it's 3% is it? Like I said, I wasn't sure.

It's still a chunk best to prepare yourself for. If it doesn't get charged then it's just a bonus!! Very Happy

I had $4200 worth of gear from Tyga and some how managed to only have to pay £35 this end.It depends on how they label the stuff they are sending you.I had mine sent to me via EMS which in turn comes thru parcelforce this end.

I bought an item from USA for $50 ($50 post $50 item total about £45) I ended up paying double about £90 all in all about 5 months ago.

They charged what they thought the value was. You have to then write in to reclaim the money you have paid in Evil or Very Mad

and it takes ages Evil or Very Mad

I think they include the post price when charging your tax.......... Rolling Eyes

Happened to me on something from USA. Didn't really mind the money it was the 4 months they kept it before telling me that pi**ed me off.

Be careful, Depending one what you buy and how its shipped the uk are adding an additional 17% on top of duty and vat, found this out when i bought a gift for the missus from the internet, it was shipped as new ityems, best if they can ship spare parts or secondhand, or even machine parts.

No way.

If you paid more you've been had!
