I think you are allowed a certain value without being charged duty and at £20 including postage, (which is $10.50), the value of the goods is below that threshold. i didn't get stung for Duty.

alexlotta Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Customs Duties is question of "luck" ,at least here where i live. Item location is dodgy ,and happened to me TOO many times. At least is not the kind of people who sell from "europe"and actually let ship stuff from USA(it happen often and luckily i 've avoided a couple of times). Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
