Re: Import duties rapped me!
The main costs will be the Duty and VAT based on the value of the invoices issued to the forwarder.
The likelihood is that who every you change to will not be able to save you anymore money.
At the end of the day Duty and Vat needs to be paid, and the only reduction would be the forwarders fees, that are not a lot.

Re: Import duties rapped me!
Thank you, its not just duties, but handeling fees admin fees cargo movement fees courier fees an a list of little things.
The important thing is how would i go about getting an alternative export company to get it from the port, do the paper work and bring it to me?
Thanks

Re: Import duties rapped me!
They will all be tarred with the same brush and all that will happen is it will get tied up in bond and you have to pay storage charges on top of what you have already been hit with.
Just bend down and grip your ankles.
Re: Import duties rapped me!
The issue is the orginal company now will not deal with this shipment because of some certin logistics but thats sort of bi the bi, I need to find another company that can deal with this now :(
Please help im pulling my hair out.
Re: Import duties rapped me!
Was this an air or sea shipment?
Has it arrived & in port or ina UK warehouse somewhere?
Where are the main costs...some are fixed & you can't dodge them VAT & Import...which are a % of the declared value...everything revolves around the declared value on the shipping bill (even the courier/shippiung agent handling fees)...therewfore it'#s a very key document to get right....before you buy anything.
Top tip for anyone bringing something into the country ....only buy from someone who's prepared to go the extra mile to get the sale and send erhm creative shipping documentation with the shipment!

While I know what you refering too Hank this actually doesn't matter because in the eyes of the law the buyer is ultimately responsable for the paper work being correct and liable if not.!! . . . . So be carefull because if too creative HMRC will still bite your Arse.!!

Looking at your updated first post I think your pain may well get worse because to me it reads that the £620 covers the handling fee's and the VAT/DUTY will come on top calculated from the machines value.?? . . . . .Hope I'm wrong but thats howit reads to me.!!
