Importing From Europe

[wytonpjs]

I’ve just had some Rusan adapters delivered from Holland for my Pulsar Krypton.

Got charge the VAT (simple case of 20% of the sterling value of what bought and the postage) plus a £12 handling fee.

Looks like you’ve paid the same, but UPS is a little more expensive for handling.

@andyk @Klenchblaize I’ve ordered 3 Rusan adapters for my Hik Thunder 3 now from Germany, one direct, the other 2 via eBay. No additional charges on any of them and the direct was delivered by DHL

It depends on the value. UK VAT on imports from the EU is only charged for goods above a certain value (can't remember the exact right now). And yes, it's a Brexit thing - before that, shiping to and from the EU was the same as shipping within the UK - quick and seamless.

"Consignments valued at £135 or less: The seller in the EU is generally required to charge UK VAT at the point of sale." So no taxes charged by the courier.
