Question

I imported 2 lots of coils from Oz, I have just received a duty invoice from DHL for £40.15 is this right?!?!?!?!

The items were valued at £106.00, the freight was £28.89 so the total value for customs duty was £134.89.

The total for VAT purposes is £145.36, so £25.43 for VAT and £10.00 admin charge for DHL!!!!

Suddenly doesn't seem so cheap!

Dom.

Total should have been £165.90 if my maths is correct?

BTW, that is cheap, where did you get that price for coils? I'm in the middle of organising a group buy and haven't been able to get a price that good!

Looks like you've paid less duty than normal as well.

Import duties should be (price+ 17.5% VAT) + 10% duty

I'll check all the invoices tomorrow, I worked it out at £85.00 for each set including duty and as you say this does sound cheap!!!

What is the exchange rate at the moment?

Dom.

I'll check were my garage manager ordered them from, he is an Aussie so this might of helped!!!
