Page 1 of Petition to raise custom fees and abolish handling charges

As most of you know, buying anything costing more than £18 from overseas will mean you have to pay VAT and import duty, and a whacking great £8 `customs handling charge` from Royal Mail.

I`ve started a petition on the Number 10 website to try and get the £18 allowance increased - it`s been static for years - and abolition of the customs handling charge, which should be included in delivery charges paid upfront.

And tell your friends!
