Hi, I'm Yavo and you might remember me from such topics as "Geogaddi Is Arse" and "Chuff Off Redrum". I have a question probably only UK people can answer. If I order a R1 dvd from Amazon.com to post to the UK, do I get hit with any charges other than standard postage because the last time I did so, about 3 years ago, I think I had to pay £20 customs charges or summink. |

I don't know either but I can tell you that two dogs are shagging in my neighbour's front garden. |

There are two possible charges, customs duty and import VAT. Customs duty is waived if it's under £7, which basically means your goods have to be worth over £200. Import VAT is waived if the value of goods is less than £18. You can therefore import most DVDs without a problem, but you might get slapped with 17.5% VAT on boxsets. Of course, you won't have to pay anything at all if your parcel isn't inspected, which most aren't. If you're ordering multiple DVDs, try and get them sent seperately, but only if the cost is advantageous in relation to hassle/potential VAT. |

watch out for customs. they bill you randomly. i once ordered a bunch of CDs (6 i think) from different amazon second-hand guys in america, and i got charged £10 customs on two of them, completely arbitrarily. customs are wankers. |
