    I'm not ordering anything from the UK. If a parcel gets routed that way by the seller or courier, and a tax bill arrives with it, I intend to reject it and claim a refund.
    the only problem with that is ,as the UK areoutside the EU now,they are not obliged to give you a refund,

    I think thats going to be the order of the day for a lot of purchases. I dont know where to get the proper info either.

    I know from previous experience looking for similar info for purchases from countries out side the EU, that it was a head wrecking experience. I ended up throwing in the towel and keeping my purchases within the EU.

    Maybe that was the purpose all along now that I think of it, mmmhh.

    one problem i've seen, you have to be so careful when ordering to make sure it's not a UK site pretending to be Irish. B&Q for instance re-directs you from a .ie site to a .co.uk one. Ebay have customs charges all added on on many of the items available.

    I have seen that many times. Lots and lots of dot.ie sites are actually located in England. The fact that they quote prices in euros leads you to believe that you are buying from a legitimate irish site, and actually you are buying UK goods that may or may not attract customs duties.

    Like i said earlier the fact that what items are customs due or not is the scary bit. All my own car related purchases in the last few weeks are all Germany based, Netherlands,Belgium ect.

    I am actually very wary of UK car part purchases at the moment, let alone a car.:D

    Sounds like an avalanche of potential customs duties charges going to be foisted on unsuspecting folks then.
