Had email from From Fedex On 07/03/2021:
"The import charge is estimated to be 57.13 GBP and is due for payment immediately"
I paid and it was delivered a day later.
Group discount worked fabulously thanks to booja30 in this thread which offsets the £10 or so customs fee and 20% import tax.
HTH
£10 or so customs fee and 20% import tax.
if your in the market for any of their products there's no worry about import duty's or taxes for the UK DIYer. Good news.
That import tax is a lot less heavy than what I paid for my latest purchase from the UK to Italy.
There is actually no duties between us and the EU (except in a few circumstances).
Import duty will have been paid by the importer. VAT will aslo be paid, as sure as night follows day. Unless the UK importer gets a HUGE bulk buy/trade discount, you will just add another profit into the equation.
You will pay whatever Italy levies plus an admin' charge, it is that simple and in this case, it sounds like Italian VAT, duty and other charges are larger than UK ones.
I didn't pay italian charges and duties for my purchase in the United kingdom.
Euro customers shopping in the UK are charged the sum of 3 types of fees:
1) a fixed cost for customs clearance (insanely heavy for small imports);
2) an import tax for items worth more than £.135;
3) a tax equal to 20% of the price paid for the goods.
This will probably all change in July as there will be new centralised VAT in the EU and we may be allowed to join that scheme.
