 Member 3807, 302 posts SQ 320, BP 160, DL 320800.0 kgs @ 145kgs UnEq | I'm going to get a pair of Nike romaleos but cant find the color i want them in the UK. Is there any where in the rest of the world i could order them from that i wont get charged extra by customs, I was talking to a guy i know and he said if you order it from Europe you dont get charged extra by customs but i wasnt sure if that was right. Any help is grateful | ||

If you buy goods from another EU country you should not get any charges by HMRC. However, you should be charged VAT by the vendor if they are VAT registered. Depending on the country the supplier is selling from I think VAT can be as high as 25% in Europe. Of course if the supplier does regular business in UK then they may already be VAT registered over here. | ||

 Help me rescue my Insulina. Member 5366, 1090 posts | Buying from overseas is a gamble when it comes to customs charges. In my experience, it depends on how much information the seller declares about the goods and which shipping company they use. Many moons ago I ordered from bodybuilding.com, an order around £100 turned up within 3 days and there were no customs charges. A subsequent order for around £60 took over 3 weeks to reach me and a month later I received an invoice from the courier (UPS i think) demanding import tax + administration fees, amounting to about £18. I was fooked off to say the least  | ||
