RE: Clarification of £135 Import Rules For Consumers
I have purchased good as gifts for my husband, which I didn't realise they were being posted from the Netherlands. I paid £87.01 for the goods, £27.42 in shipping, then tax of £22.92. This is a total of £137.35. I have received an email this morning from UPS requesting £52.45 for import charges. This seems quite a lot compared to the value of the items I have paid. I have tried to find out why there is such a cost, but can't find an answer. Does anybody know?
