That's a mayor win for the UK's well know coat business.

...and probably end up paying VAT twice, very unlikely EU seller has adjusted their system to exclude a local VAT for UK (non-EU) buyers >:D

I feel we shall see more and more of this as the true effects become clearer regarding the position UK consumers now find themselves in.

We have just cut ourselves out of one of the largest free markets in the world.

Now all that trade will not be free.

Can someone explain how they came up with a figure of £82? For a £200 coat afaik it should be 20% VAT + 2% duties + £8 handling fee so that would be ~£52.
