Havenโt been buying much till this year but noticed shipping cost everywhere increased significantly compared to the past.

At least the vase itself is decently priced. Gotta love Parra for releasing quality collectibles for affordable prices, unlike some other artists...

That's just one of many types.
There are many different forms of ancient amphorae...

And the two that *are* actually labelled amphora have a very different shape to that of the Parra vase.
Perhaps a small point but I can't help but be a pedant when it comes to misinformation.

Good luck to any Parra fans living in that part of the world.

No need to be sorry: some proper archaeology-knowledge is much appreciated

With the rebate of 21 percent for non-EU countries, the vase itself works out to cost just a little bit more than the shipping itself - thatโs if I donโt get taxed locally further. |

And knowing how HMRC works, they will probably charge you VAT again when it enters the UK so you will be paying twice.

Thanks Subtotal: โฌ161.16 Shipping: โฌ85.00 Duties: โฌ14.77 Taxes: โฌ52.18 Total: โฌ313.11 That sounds odd. You don't pay "duty" on imported works of art; just the VAT. Strictly speaking, you should pay VAT on the shipping costs as well as the actual item but, usually, you only pay VAT on the declared value of the item. In other words, 20% of 161.16 euros (plus the courier's admin fee). And knowing how HMRC works, they will probably charge you VAT again when it enters the UK so you will be paying twice. |

But regardless of if it's 20% or 5% I still suspect that you would end up being charged twice; once by Parra and once by HMRC at the point of entry in to the UK.

The flippers arenโt going to sell it cheaper than that.
