You don't think they'll just wait until next time someone sends you something by Fedex, then hold it to ransom

Thats just Machiavellian, Robin... or its your paranoia showing through...

I just pay it, OTOH I get to reclaim the VAT content

I thought I got away with not paying the import/VAT on my smooth stepper, but alas, a letter turned up a few weeks later demanding a stupid amount :(. Still haven't paid it, but last time I did that they sent out another letter saying they were going to send out creditors.

I'm expecting my letter sometime soon, however on one occasion they did forget me.:dance:

I know that they can be sods for overcharging too, this link points to a site that provides all the different duty rates etc: http://www.businesslink.gov.uk/bdotg...9841842&r.s=tl

Anyways from what I've gleaned I'll be liable for 15% VAT and 2.1% import duty.

Lets hope they forget me again!!
