Suzuki Yamamoto Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Just came across this website for calculating import taxes for Airsoft weapons/products from overseas and thought i'd share it with the lovely people of AF-UK! duty calculator
Suzuki Yamamoto Posted January 11, 2014 Author Posted January 11, 2014 Thanks for that mate I like to be helpful
Supporters Ian_Gere Posted January 13, 2014 Supporters Posted January 13, 2014 Yeah thanks, Suz. Top tip: when ordering from outside the EU, don't buy anything expensive in the same order as a gun, because a package with a gun in it will get inspected and thus hit for VAT, whereas there's a very good chance (about 7:1 IME) that anything else will get through uninspected. Edit: also, if you can avoid it, don't order from the USA, because yank suppliers always fill in the customs declaration in a way which draws attention - or maybe it's just the way exports from the USA are handled, I dunno, but you always get hit for mo money...
Supporters jcheeseright Posted January 13, 2014 Supporters Posted January 13, 2014 another top tip, EVERYTHING from the USA will be checked and will have VAT/duty put on it. Everything.
Supporters Ian_Gere Posted January 13, 2014 Supporters Posted January 13, 2014 Great minds... Fools seldom differ too, apparently...
