Import duty and Tax from the US...

I ordered a rucksack for the wife a while back from the US as no longer available here and have had UPS claim they tried to deliver twice...... No card through door and we were in all day....

I contacted UPS to arrange delivery to my work and was told that I owed them £22.79 import duty on a bag costing $61.90 including postage..... £43.90

That's 52% of the cost of the item in Duty......

Anyone know why it is so damn high????

 

I am now stuck with No chance of refund and I can't have the item unless I pay the extortionate duty......

 

HELP......

    Just ask them to email you a copy of their invoice.

    Then you can see what is being charged.

    No point in speculating "why" untill you see the paperwork.

    They will have charged a "handling/processing" fee.

    All the shippers do.

    Cheers Pete..... Calling them now....

    Well ended up emailing them requesting a breakdown of the charges.

    They said on the phone that it wasn't them, but HMRC said how much it was?

    Will see what they and HMRC say next......
