Q+A on Import Duty+Tax [Do Not Ask How to Avoid!]

Puteq · 2007-11-07 16:01:49

I don't know if I've read earlier posts correctly. Am I right in saying that it's only goods shipped from outside the EU that is liable for custom charges?

I am looking at buying £90 worth of kitchen accessories from a UK supplier but I don't want to get caught out by additional charges.

I know if I buy via Amazon they convert to Irish rate of VAT but this supplier doesn't deliver to Ireland via Amazon but their own online store does.

Any advice appreciated.

Hey there looking to buy some Microphones from the states as they are nearly 100% cheaper than here -.-.
But i have the catch 22 of import duty and tax. How much import duty would i be expecting to pay on an item that is costing roughly $150 and one that if i won a bid at $20?

the items are small and weighing in at less than a KG

Thanks guys

10 EUR + ~25% on shipping + item price that you bought it for as a rough estimate. Customs office may challenge you on the price if they think it is to cheap but showing the proof of invoice is usually enough.
