Amaranthus Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 AFAIK, if the sender marks the product as a gift you don't have to pay the customs charges, unless things have changed recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dosxuk Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 That's only applicable in the case of actual gifts. If customs suspect it's not actually a gift (e.g. presence of an invoice in the parcel), then they'll charge you import duty anyway. Potentially, they could even lay a charge of fraud at the door of the sender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green scrubs Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 Yeah, I suppose people only really do it when purchasing via ebay. Can't buy them off eBay as they are all 2nd hand and cannot give my beloved them for Christmas lol. I'll just have to suck it up and pay the thieving buggers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
