Same thing in here. Funny how you visit the customs post and the customs nazis assumption is that you're trying to cheat unless you can proof that you're not. Lot of the stuff that is more harmful than car/motorcycle parts gets passed the customs without these guys noticing it. It's like those fuckers hate/envy you for having any extra money to spend to your hobbies. Title: Re: Off Topic ?? CUSTOMS.

Post by: Harry/FDK on December 18, 2010, 12:42:35 pm what tax rate are they charging at customs? On car parts coming from the US it can go up to 30% of the value, these shitheads also charge a lot of times for the value PLUS shipping because they can't read a bill.... Title: Re: Off Topic ?? CUSTOMS. Post by: Fastbrit on December 18, 2010, 15:46:46 pm That is usual – taxable value = cost of parts + shipping. Standard EU practice...

That has been the standard calculation practice probably since 70's (or even before). What's the tax free (gift) limit in UK? Do you have to go an fetch all the parcels from the customs post individually? Title: Re: Off Topic ?? CUSTOMS.

Post by: Harry/FDK on December 21, 2010, 21:25:50 pm My cases (T1-T4) and other parts are waiting to be "cleared" by our finest since 13th of December. All the paperwork with value and shipping rates are there and then they send a copy for me to estimate the value. I'm going bezerk, why t.f. didn't i choose collecting stamps. Please Lord let me die with a tax-freed Pauter Crank on my chest.
