I'm looking to buy an amplifier from the USA and would like to know a bit more about how much import tax to pay, the item is valued at approx £220.
Thanks
Thanks
The courier probably charged an administration/collection fee on top of that... Not unheard of for it to be more than the tax due. Some people have claimed these charges back in the same way that the banks have been taken to task over overdraft charges.Lucky that Digidude that they still let the package through.
Another example would be that i have had an American Football shirt stopped through customs. They held the package until i paid the tax due which was £40, as much as the shirt cost me in the first place.
Im sure they just make it up as they go along.
