I had a similar issue with 10 electrical sockets. Well under the £18 limit, but customs decided they were worth more and slapped on duty. Then with Royal Mail handling fee, it came up to nearly £40. I could have paid the fees, received the goods and then appealed the duty. Even if the appeal succeeded, I would not be able to get the RM fee back. So I informed the seller and left the goods to go back to China. He re- sent the order and it came straight through.
Ironically, I did not use the sockets as they were unshuttered and so not safe.
On the other side, I bought a harmonica for $150, expecting to pay duty and handling, but it just sailed through.
BTW - how much would you pay for a couple of Chinese made ER32 collet chucks from a UK supplier ?Last edited by cropwell; 13-11-2018 at 12:55 PM.
