UK Import Customs Charges ๐ฌ๐ง, by ak1 on Feb 12, 2021 20:05:58 GMT 1, Why stop? If it's art the VAT should be removed at the point of sale and you would then pay the applicable rate, which may be be less than the standard VAT rate, depending on where you live.
I've stopped because customs duty is also payable depending on the value of the item imported. Thats on top of the VAT. If someone's going for even a ยฃ1k print, the cost starts to mount up.
I used to buy a bit at auction in the UK because there's normally a much better selection of work I like but add these costs to auction fees and its now a once or twice a year thing if at all. Overall, a right pain!

UK Import Customs Charges ๐ฌ๐ง, by the only texas pete on Feb 12, 2021 20:17:40 GMT 1, Itโs not that complicated, art is 5% import VAT when coming in from anywhere in the world that includes the EU now. For EU sales the vendor should not apply VAT their end if itโs a primary sale and you just pick it up on import. It does add cost for secondary sales but if the parties split the cost the vendor receives 2.5% less and buyer pays 2.5% more. If youโve been over charged you should contact the courier in the first instance and provide them a summary and evidence of over payment, most of the time they will deal with it and issue a refund, if they canโt I believe there is a way to claim through HMRC in which case call HMRC customer services and theyโll advise. My understanding is that you can only apply for a refund from HMRC if the import VAT was charged by Royal Mail / Parcelforce. ย If you paid the import tax via a private courier like DHL then you have to reclaim it from DHL. At least I'm sure that used to be the case in pre-Brexit times. ย ย
Just checked and it was FedEx. Iโve sent them an email to their customer service desk asking what I need to do. Will update on what they say ie from them or from HMRC. Thank you

I can't understand someone being deterred from a significant purchase by a petty admin charge. I do however think that admin charges are just a form of protectionism when looked at in the context of the average, non-art purchase. |

That wouldn't stop me from buying.
But when you buy a KAWS book for 50 quid and need to pay 4 euro tax
and they charge you 21 euro, because of 17 euro admin, your 50 quid book is 71....
My point is it's not in proportion to the tax itself on low amounts.
It's a waste of time and money.

I recently went through the reclamation process with FedEx. They are a bit of a nuisance to be able to speak to someone though. Hit option 1 and youโll be redirected to a call centre who can then connect you to someone who will advise.
The short of it is, it depends on whether the sender has provided the relevant details/tariff code. If the correct details have been provided then itโs an easy enough process to reclaim what youโve overpaid provided. They automatically apply the 20% which is annoying. Theyโll tell you that you can challenge at the point itโs clearing customs in the U.K. Cautionary word, Iโm now 21 days in and still waiting for my refund because they didnโt really seem to know what they were doing and it took a second call to identify this. They then advise it takes a further ten working days once someone has looked at it (estimated to be three days after the claim is recorded) to then issue the repayment. Itโs a shambles. Oh...and if you need to appeal the tariff code because the sender hasnโt correctly applied then they want ยฃ53 for that. Itโs all quite nonsense.

That's both ways round. Hopefully this will be temporary for most sellers when customs settle down. I sent an lp to Belgium, said it was a gift, he had no extra charges but it took nearly 3 weeks to get there. So I am waiting a while before sending to the EU, to let things settle.

Plenty of traders the world over suffering because of Covid. Plenty more traders in the UK suffering because they've been screwed by their own government over Brexit
VAT and import issues for a few art deals pale into insignificance compared to the shafting of whole sectors.
Your quid at home is useless for businesses who've lost their primary markets.

Some U.K companies are now using .ie for online sales, but if they ship from the U.K the buyer is charged duty from the U.K

We get charged the full rate over here then trying to claim it back is just hassle.
My wife buys a lot online and won't purchase from the U.K, but before Brexit nearly all purchases were from there.

UK Import Customs Charges ๐ฌ๐ง, by ak1 on Feb 13, 2021 14:35:04 GMT 1, They are a government of disaster capitalists, I'm convinced they are trashing business on purpose so as to be able to pick over the scraps like vultures to eventually enrich their chumocracy...they've taken back control, at our expense. So many are now shopping online with the covid. The U.K gov shot themselves in the foot, people just don't want to pay the extra duty, more so on small everyday items. We get charged the full rate over here then trying to claim it back is just hassle. My wife buys a lot online and won't purchase from the U.K, but before Brexit nearly all purchases were from there.
I know people as well who have stopped buying from the UK. Not art, but electronics, clothes, stuff like that.
Parcel Motel is gone as well so expensive shipping charges makes it all but impossible.

Yeps majority ( Mostly far rights ) who voted Brexit ( there was a referendum ) just thought about migrants, emigration, European technocrats, themselves and did not see more far than their pints of beer ! We have been back in the middle age with all these taxes for every things ...
Really worrying and sad..
( when I read โ to spend my money in my own country โ, what a racist and selfish thought ) ...

Anyway, sir, You are too vindicative and a bit hater with Eu
Or is it only after me ? Calm down.
We have to help ourselves ( but maybe you donโt need it, living easy, at your own )..
To resume : brexshit - and the worst will come !
Europe was cool.
Easy for everybody

Ok. Ok. But you have had few posts a bit โstrange โ ( as saying ) before.
But never mind. Itโs ok.
We are all in the same boat anyway.

Nope. It makes you narrow minded.

UK Import Customs Charges ๐ฌ๐ง, by trapnel1 on Feb 13, 2021 21:10:29 GMT 1, Considering the prices I pay for the pieces themselves, the admin charges are negligible. But when you buy a KAWS book for 50 quid and need to pay 4 euro tax and they charge you 21 euro, because of 17 euro admin, your 50 quid book is 71.... My point is it's not in proportion to the tax itself on low amounts. It's a waste of time and money. Shouldn't be any charges on books. That was the case pre-Brexit for all book imports from anywhere, and I don't think it's changed...
