yokomo Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 not sure baout car parts but ive ordered all sorts of other items from litteraly all over the globe , japan , USA , and europe and this is what i ahve come to conclude ... pretty mucheverytime my items came via the airfreight super fast stuff (under a week from tokyo) i got stung for customs and gernally parcelfarce did the uk side and gipped for theyre "handling fee" when i came via slow up to 2 weeks mail ...... no charge ! after getting miffted at the parcelfarce depot ( its 5 mins from house and i didnt want wit extra days fro them to send me a ltter then deliver the item ) guy i asked why do i somtimes get stung fro vat on the order some time but not other (same supplier) i was told "the world pack air freight stuff gets checked by customs almost all the time , but they hardly bother with the slow stuff ". so if you dont mind a little wating whihc i dont on big orders then try and get its sent el cheapo post with insureance , might be lucky and get it sans tax.

Stew Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Not sure about this, but if the recipient of the goods is a student, then chances are that he/she won't have to pay duty.Need someone to confirm this tho... Doubt it. Students still pay VAT etc. Just income tax they miss out on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
