Hello all,
I'm planning on buying some electronic goods from the states to the tune of £450 + shipping... does anyone know how much customs and excise duty and import V.A.T I would have to pay on it all?
I may be able to get a friend to send them over... so is there a differece between a 'gift' and 'goods' ? I imagine there is.
Or I may use a site called 'Bundle-Box' who provide you with a U.S address and then send it on over to you.
I've had a look on the HMRC site and they don't give you any proper figures... I'll give them a call if no-one can provide any info.
Cheers all. _Dan.
