Fish-Finger-er Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 if its an mp3 player, or a camera lens, or the like, and its off ebay, chances are theyll mark it as a gift,and u wont pay anything on it.otherwise youll pay the import duty for that item, depends what item it is, as to what import duty it is, at whatever value its set at.plus VAT. and quite often the courier company will take a £12 fee, just cos theyve paye your fees in advance to C&E, so there not out of pocket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
