Hold the phone - it's just one of the companies you may wish to deal with, but JLCPCBs site (my main concern, tbh) now has the following: United Kingdom 0~135GBP (VAT collected by JLCPCB) >135GBP (VAT collected by local custom) From https://support.jlcpcb.com/article/89-customs-duties-and-taxes Seems to imply they will be handling it. Might email their support folks again and see if I can get hold of someone who knows what's up. |

Interesting, 135 GBP = 150 EUR, i.e. the EU limit for simplified imports (just VAT). |

So I ordered a few PCbs for a side project from China. The PCBs were 28 EUR, DHL was 33. Then just now, DHL charged 17 EUR for "Advance payment fee" and 11 EUR as import duty. I guess we can kiss goodbye to cheap PCBs. |

Why couldn't the payment processor (paypal, or a credit card company) handle the VAT ? They could charge a fee that's lower than the post office - after all, the paperwork is going through them already. It makes more sense than the carrier paying it, when it's related to the payment cost rather than the transport cost |
