Import duty

(1/4) > >>

MrDavo:
If I buy parts from Japan for £50, including delivery, will I still get hit for import duty, VAT and pay a fee for Parcelfarce to collect it?

I seem to recall that under a certain amount they don't bother.

Nurse Julie:
I can't answer your question but it may be worth asking Trigger if he has what you need in stock. He's tied up at the moment but will be free soon.

I ordered Carb rebuild kits from Cruzimage ,

 value totally was just over £40,
I didn't pay any extra,

 recently I purchesed lots of items for a small yamaha from various countries,Wales,Thailand,USA ,holland .and Finland ,

 of these ,I was only caught once by Parcelforce scam,it cost me an extra £14 approx,

 seems its "potluck" if they charge you

Nurse Julie:
Agree about Cruzinimage, we never get charged as the put the value down so low which helps.

hairygit:
The official rule is any goods from outside the EU over £15 in value is liable for import duty, plus V.A.T. on the item value (including import duty) and the postage cost, plus parcelforce's charge on top for collecting the duty. Basically if an item gets stopped, you get stung badly!
