M10 to United Kingdom - taxes etc?

post #1 of 9
Thread Starter 
Hey guys,

I adore the M10 and am about to order. However, before I do I want to know about shipping to the United Kingdom. Jim has said USPS shipping will be $128, but does anyone know what the extra taxes on this thing will be when it hits the UK border, and how I'll have to pay them?

Many thanks.

I've had conflicting reports about taxes in the UK. Hopefully, one of our UK customers will chime in.

It's all luck to be honest whether or not they HMRC will check, but the size of the box is likely to perk there interest. It did when I ordered my M8. I had to pay vat at 20% and import duty, I can;t remember the cost but it was about £100.00.

You will receive a letter from parcelforce saying that have a parcel and specifiying your charges. You pay over the phone or on the web and they will release it and it will be delivered as normal.

Yeah, they only check a percent of parcels for import tax unless it's specifically declared. I've had good luck with stuff getting through, one seller on OCN even wrapped my SSD in a gift paper biggrin.gif

However, my brother bought a hockey stick and got stung with £40 import tax (and then found it was fake lol).

it's 20% of the item value, unless the person that ships it marks it as a gift.

Hi all,

Im hoping to purchase a M8 later this month, again im interested in the 'all in' cost to the UK.

Any rough ideas? I did send an email via the website but that was only earlier today so wasnt expecting a reply just yet smile.gif

Hey Ben,

I had 2 STH10's (plus accessories) delivered last week, sent you a PM!

I had asked Jim about shipping the M8 to the UK and he quoted $118.00 (may have gone up slightly due to price increase) so add this to the price of the case plus any accessories you may have, then worst case scenario add 20% VAT and ~6% Import Duty. Also, assume shipping varies slightly depending where you are in the UK.

My total shipping to the UK was $257, I think that is extremely good for 2 huge boxes weighing in at around 57kg! Oh and it arrived 2 days after leaving the States!

You will not regret your purchase though, I have been through many cases, Yeong Yang, Lian Li, MM and these are by far the best quality cases on the market!


EDIT: go to www.dutycalculator.com to get a pretty good idea of what you may have to pay
