    Hey Folks,

    I'm currently deciding the best options for sourcing the parts for a new Gaming PC build.
    I've been looking at NewEgg, but I'm unsure what the story is with Customs/Import fees for anything bought from them.

    Can anyone answer - if you buy components from NewEgg, are you charged duty/VAT/taxes as well as their shipping fees?

    Thanks in advance :)

    Yes, 23%

    They also charge crazy shipping here, and you lose your warranty.

    Handier to buy from EU

    :eek:
    Ouch - thanks!!

    I had heard that the shipping fees included a pre-payment of the import fees, but I suspected that wasn't right.

    Thanks! :D

    The import fee has nothing to do with Newegg so that's incorrect anyways.

    Do you want to post your build for review
