Not sure where to put this info!.
I have been lookung at getting some Bins from thge USA and thought I would find out what charges UK Customs & Excise would levy on top.
Each item has a commodity code. Bins are 9005100000
Purchase Price+ Insurance+Delivery Multiplied by 4.5% then standard VAT on top of that.
Example:
product cost converted to UKP £ = 100
Insurance (if any ) converted to UKP £=10
Delivery converted to UKP £=10
=120 multiplied by 4.5% = £125.40 Pence
17.5% VAT on top of that = £147.35
Which isn't too bad really, when you consider the savings that could be made!.
C&E Phone number for queries is 0845 010 9000
Interesting. But isn't 4% on £120.00 £4.80 not £5.40. Sorry to be pedantic.
Just seeing whose taking notice!. Well done Robin!.
My excel calc obviously needs work!.
Just checked and corrected it. My calc was correct.
but the duty is 4.5% not 4% as I had on the original post
