RE: Clarification of £135 Import Rules For Consumers
I am considering buying some toys from Asia. The online retailer gives the price in GBP £ and also adds 20% VAT on for UK customers. The price of one item in particular is £68 + £13.60 VAT, making a total of £81.60 for the item. However, the shipping costs for the item is £55, bringing the overall cost to £136.60 total. Would this attract customs duty, since the value of the actual goods is £81.60, or would the shipping cost be taken into account too?
