How much do customs charges or import tax whatever it is cost?


Been after a watch for a while but the one I want is twice the cost in the UK.
Watches are zero import duty rated so just the 20% vat to pay customs. Usually the courier company pay the vat for you and charge you for that amount and a handling fee on top.

Items other than watches may have an import duty rating of more than zero % though, so best to check first.

Thats not too bad then the watch I was looking at was a £1050 in the UK and £450 on the other side of the pond.

Sometimes there are some Unbelievable price differences between UK and US prices  :stupid:

The Rear end conversion for my Harley would have cost me upwards of £4000 to supply and fit in the UK.  :jumping:

I bought the Kit online and paid the delivery, VAT and all other costs, for a total of £1450….. and I fitted it myself.  :star:
