They're doing you a favour. HMRC should be charging VAT on import and the carrier would usually add an admin charge, in the region of £10. For me it's brill, as I can generally reclaim the VAT and don't get stung by an admin fee. |

Previous rules allowed a minimum value of £15 before duty was payable. Some retialers like Tesco would ship CDs from offshore to bypass VAT. That means your import should have attracted VAT and a courier admin charge. Many Chinese sellers are already VAT registered, though my experience of them is they are typically unwilling to provide a VAT invoice. I don't see the issue, it makes legitimate UK products competitive on a level playing ground. You seem to want your cake and eat it. |

Many Chinese sellers claim UK stock and shipping (with estimated 48hour Royal Mail delivery) but often when you get the item a week or two later it has been shipped directly from China. -- mailto : news {at} admac {dot} myzen {dot} co {dot} uk |

I understand you were charged by EBay but how are you extrapolating this to everything? It seems reasonable that as IT tracking systems improve VAT would be added, but if they are doing this to every Aliexpress sale to the UK, it would be in Aliexpress' interests to handle it at point of sale, like Ebay did for you. |

Taxes and duties applied at point of sale certainly seems to be the way to go. I was surprised that the Brexit commentaries made such a big deal of extra red tape. I imagined international tariffs and taxes could and should be largely automated. A few teething problems but not much more. |

No, just keeping some of the EU rules and something very unlikely to change as the Government's finances try to recover from the (extra) debt mountain that has been created during the pandemic. I wonder if some of the international postal rules may soon change where countries/postal services honour the delivery of items from overseas but where the postal charge in the country of origin is a very small fraction of the cost of sending the same package in the the UK? Some Ebay Chinese sourced items (incl postage) are much less than a UK second class stamp. -- mailto : news {at} admac {dot} myzen {dot} co {dot} uk |
