CMSL - Import Duties/VAT

<< < (4/8) > >>

I ordered some gauge faces from Marcel earlier this month and no VAT or Duty on delivery here so whether this was a 'one off' remains to be seen. I have another order on the way here so I'll see what happens to that one. It maybe that items in a jiffy bag are ignored by customs.

I have had numerous parts of CMSNL over the years. I ordered some parts on the 1st of Jan and just had notification today from the carriers that they have finally arrived and they want £64.74 import tax before they can release it! Considering the goods were £197.50 plus vat, I am paying nearly 50% in taxes. Looks like CMS will be losing a lot of UK trade!

philward:
Dave, see my original post - your experience contradicts what CMSL tells us in the email I received - maybe you should get in touch with CMSL as as you ordered on 01st Jan, they may not have sorted their arrangements with UK HMRC/VAT?

From the other side I have some issues when buying from UK .

Apperently from the agreement that has been reached this has  complicated the process . My couriers have informed me that if there was not a deal it would have been easier to process as it would automatically just be buying from a country similar to the US . Package arrives just pay customs and VAt and done . with what has been agreed , they have to verify country of origin , to see if it from UK it is really from UK so that there is no abuse etc

Anyway ,hope fully things will get smoother along the way .

Paul G mentioned Memo, I've just received a pair of gauges from Canada marked 'for repair & return'
arrived here without a problem. No evidence Customs had looked in the box. So it might be the case that no duty is payable is these circumstances and shouldn't be as it's not a purchase.
