got stung a while back but just reading HMRC site and it says 'Customs duty becomes payable if the value of the goods is over £135 but duty is waived if the amount of duty calculated is less than £9.' this is valued at £108, so seems to be okay, anyone know what the score would be VAT-wise?
Likewise, when i've sent stuff to the US which at one point was quite regularly it was always as a gift and never a problem. When it's been the other way i've been stung even when the price is less than £135 so fuck knows how they do it ???
[quote="waspy_1987"]When I have imported stuff I always ask for it to be labelled as a gift. Never paid anything yet........[/quote] the gift things a myth it goes on value it was about 24gbp..... basic EMS tracked is the best way to get stuff from the states it uninsured tho
