Import Charges, by kel on Oct 4, 2017 13:28:02 GMT 1, Received a couple of charges recently on purchases from the US on signed prints ยฃ93.60 and ยฃ47.35. It has been mentioned on here before that the rate for signed prints/editions should be 5% not 20% that I seem to have been charged.
Little help needed in finding the commodity code for the incorrect charge and what the correct commodity code should be so I can put it on my claims form.
Any help would be much appreciated

Import Charges, by Banksy Matrix on Oct 4, 2017 13:42:10 GMT 1, I've been stung by the 20% as well - this is standard for UK imports I believe if the incorrect commodity code is used.
The 2 codes I've been told to use, that are both 5%, are as follows:
9702 - for print multiples (like lithographs, screenprints, etc) 4911 - for photographic prints of an edition of 30 or less.
I hope this is helpful... If I'm wrong, then let me know so I can also import my prints correctly )
Cheers!

Import Charges, by kapow on Oct 4, 2017 15:45:37 GMT 1, Every time I import from outside the EU I get charged 20% VAT on the print plus a large admin fee. I always query this with the shipping company with the following email:
"Re: Invoice number: x
I have been charged 20% VAT on an art print. I should have been charged 5% VAT as per: www.gov.uk/trade-tariff/commodities/9702000090"
They always then reduce the VAT and the admin fee

Import Charges, by kevkevkev on Oct 4, 2017 18:03:19 GMT 1, I buy alot from japan and usa. Getting hit big time. If an item is over ยฃ15 i usually get hit. But its not 20% of the amount over, they tax the postage too!! So i could have a ยฃ20 item that costs ยฃ50 to post. I now pay 20% of ยฃ5 plus the handling fee then 20% of the ยฃ50. So a ยฃ20 item that costs me ยฃ70 total can now cost me ยฃ100 . how is that legal? You cant tax a service that has been paid for.
