Its because there are hand embelished elements.

Faile Flag • Star Spangled Shadows Print, by stillborncrisps on Nov 16, 2009 18:07:07 GMT 1, I phoned FedEx and said it was a piece of art and therefore should only be 5% tax. They said they had to go by what the sender had described it as, which was simply 'Commercial Print' on the invoice.
Dunno if PaperMonster read this, or care, but if in the future they put 'work of art' as the description all UK peeps wouldn't get stung half so bad.
Anyway, I explained it was a unique print, hand pulled by the artist themselves. FedEx said they'd waive the difference for me and take the hit themselves coz it was a relatively low amount, which was pretty decent of them. So I only ended up paying £20 odd (still including their admin.  ). They said if it'd been for more, like £100, they'd have to get Customs involved, get the seller to contact them, and they'd have yet another admin fee to pop on top for all that extra hard work.

Pretty decent on you posting that SBC +1.

Faile Flag • Star Spangled Shadows Print, by stillborncrisps on Nov 16, 2009 19:51:08 GMT 1, Well it wasn't so much I challenged them, I just put it to them as though they'd made a mistake, ie: "Hi, I received your invoice but you've applied 15% VAT, when in fact works of art are only subject to 5% tax, could you re-invoice me please."
IMO they're not experts in this and can understandably only go on what the sender describes it as. Plus I'd rather they didn't start opening tubes up to examine if it's any different!
ps. got the confidence to do it after reading the beginning of this well thumbed thread:
urbanartassociation.com/index.cgi?board=ebaychat&action=display&thread=17538&page=1

Can anyone confirm? I probably have this wrong.

Can anyone confirm? I probably have this wrong. Paper Monster probably got a tax man phone call about the 80 gift books and 100+ prints sent. My book was 5 dollar and print was full value in the last batch.So 50/50. |

Faile Flag • Star Spangled Shadows Print, by veralynn on Nov 16, 2009 21:50:01 GMT 1, Ahhh that explains it cos my item was marked as a gift, then I got an invoice from FedEx which stated the item value as $390 and duty was payable on item value.
I thought they did some homework on the web or something....
