    IM hoping to buy a pair of shoes from an american site but im wondering about the fact that I might get hit with VAT? I have never ordered anything online so could anyone explain what exactly the story is?

    When I ordered about €80 worth of stuff from Victoria Secrets we were hit with a bill for €40 in VAT and "miscellaneous" charges. They had sent the stuff with UPS, who wouldn't give us the stuff until we paid the taxes.

    The tax should work out at about 21% afaik. But there's no VAT on books or children's clothes or shoes.

    I think it also depends which carrier it's sent with whether you have to pay the VAT or not.
