Import Duty, by DameHoracia on Oct 19, 2013 11:38:10 GMT 1, I have searched the forum but haven't found the answer to this question. I hope someone can help. I am curious to know how Import VAT is charged. I have recently in the past month had four deliveries all of which had different amounts of import duty to pay. Todays request has been the highest at ยฃ106.12, the others were around ยฃ35 or under, all for similar priced pieces of work. I just wondered how this is worked out? Also why the amounts fluctuate so much? is it dependant on what the gallery writes on the customs form?
Thank you in advance for any info. I shall continue searching to see if I missed a similar question.

urbanartassociation.com/thread/92410/vat-answers-horses-mouth
As to why it varies - it depends partly on what the seller writes (how the art is described, and the value thay assign to it). The rest of the time (all too often), the people handling the import simply get it wrong. If this happens, and you persist, you can usually get a refund!
