That’s not unusual though. I had a tax investigation in 2007 after following their advice :palm:

To further add to the total balls-up that is BREXIT.

It's not as if people weren't warned.
It's the price of sovverinty, innit? - as long as someone else bears the cost, they are OK with it! :D

Anyone bought anything from China in the last couple of weeks? I'm looking at a Micsig dp10007 that is £148, says postage free from Shenzhen, however it's not clear if I'm going to be hit for customs duty/ 20% VAT etc?
fcb:
You'll most likely have to pay both VAT, some Duty and a handling charge (possibly two) for VAT/Duty.
My guess is something like : £29.60 VAT, £11.00 VAT handling charge, £11.00 duty and another £11 Duty handling/clearing charge - so perhaps another £63 payable locally.
Or buy it from Telonic in the UK for £174.00 (incl. VAT and delivery). :phew:
As the item is over £135 value the seller has no option/ability to charge you VAT at source I believe.

Yeah a lot of people don’t seem to notice Telonic. Turns out a lot more cost effective than risking purchase and warranty half way round the globe. Good company too.
