Green scrubs Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Can anyone help me please? I have bought 2 tees shirts online from America. They cost $21 (£13) each plus p&p. I have received a letter from parcelforce saying I need to pay border and customs charges. Does anyone know how much this would be? I thought all charges paid to the company were inclusive of charges. Any help appreciated Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaati Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 You have to read the fine print of the companies details. In 99% of cases it's importer responsibility. You will need to check with Parcel Force to confirm the amount as it varies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green scrubs Posted October 19, 2013 Author Share Posted October 19, 2013 Ah thanks. Parcelforce state on their website that charges are applicable over £15 but yeah, they don't specify exactly how much. Thanks though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acorns Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Yes, that's correct. You pay import VAT and the Post Office handling fee. With mine, one was about £9 and the other £6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With mine, one was about £9 and the other £6 They've just informed me that's it's £18.25. They've charged me vat on the items and p&p.
