Has anyone had any experience with working out import Tax for goods being shipped from the U.S to the U.K?

If it's less than 'declared' 18UKP I believe it is exempt. Even writing 'gift' on the parcel and tying bows and bells to the bugger isn't a cast-iron guarantee you won't get stung.

It depends on what you are importing. http://customs.hmrc.gov.uk/channelsPortalW...=HMCE_CL_001454 |

The other problem is that customs also charge you £20 just for looking at the box and deciding that it needs tax paying. http://www.twin-turbo.co.uk

I imported £1500 worth of car parts from OZ and I had to sign a form saying "I am liable to pay import tax on this" but even with this declaration they only charged me for handling and not tax! Fair enough, the money was here waiting on them but if they don't want it fine! On 7th Nov, 2008 Nic said:

Its coming from the US. Just spoke to someone on some helpline there now telling me it is 3.7 % from that code I gave them, and this is added on the total value including postage/insurance and then VAT is added on after everything else?

i purchased my snowboard from the states (worked out at £280) and that came by fed ex, there was no import fee, however i then got some bindings at the bargain price of 63 pounds, these were delivered via USPS, when they got to the UK parcel force took over, i was charged the 17.5% vat PLUS another 13 quid by parcel force for having to add it! my bindings turned out to be not so much of a bargain thanks to parcel force! avoid them if you can!

USPS, the regular postal service in America can seem like a cheaper option. Until Parcel Force get their mits on it. Ive used and had bother with pretty much every courier out there. No-one comes close to Fed Ex. I spent about 7 months trying to clear up wrong duty charges with UPS. I was fortunate, that the plonkers left me my goods, before any duty had been paid. Basically they tried to charge me duty on say £850, instead of $850. They must have re-calculated about 5-6 times, and still they couldnt get it right. I insisted I would pay, only when the amount was correct. Again, I was fortunate that all my receipts etc in this case were 100% above board, and I had kept them. If I hadnt.....not sure how it would have turned out. Also, if UPS had done their normal thing....I wouldnt have received my parts, until paid them the incorrect duty, which was almost double what it should have been. After many many letters and phone calls...the matter dissappeared, and I paid nothing. 9.85 @ 145mph
