Default Re: Buying

It used to be rather variable and you could often "get away" with it. Things have tightened up and another charge has been added on top of the standard VAT.

Listing commercial product as "nil" value would do it so long as there was no evidence contradicted it in the package - as they do definitely open a proportion.
Not sure if that would be legal though.

Anything attracting VAT over 1 pound is chargeable. Hence the 17 pound thing. ( UK VAT is 17.5% ).
I don't know how you would pay duty in advance.
