I received an order today from DVD Pacific. The total cost of the items was £19.43 and I got hit for a total of £7.30 for charges. This consisted of Import VAT at £3.30 and 'Royal Mail Clearance Fee' of £4.00. I wasn't all that amused I can assure you.
I sent an e-mail to DVD Pacific about these charges and they said:
"There is a crackdown at customs in the UK and they are paying close attention."
"What you want to do to avoid customs is to keep your order under £18..... this will exempt you from any duties or taxes. However, you will find more often than not that there will not be an issue..."
All very good advice if you want an order for under 18 quid.
