hi all, im on the verge of a large purchase from the united states to my home town of the United Kingdom for a bulk load of window tint film with means of re-selling it but im after some of your help.

the bulk load i am looking to buy first (also depending on fees, i may spend in access of $800) is going to cost me : $415 delivered
As i said before, its for Window Tint film for many different vehicles.

So can someone please help me with fees i will recieve through shipping from the usa to the uk.
Example being : Important vat, Customs Duty, Excise Duty (although i dont think this applies)

Ive already bought some as a tester and that added up too $52 with $34 delivery, and with this i recieved 13.50 GBP clearance fee from Parcelforce and 9.99 GBP VAT.


Many thanks all

Ryan

Not particularly up on importing but I would have thought you would have to pay import duty which I believe is a percentage of the cost plus VAT at 17.5% as well as the shipping fee.
Business Link might help you with the tariffs or try the customs and excise site

This is more a consumer orientated site I think you would get a better response on a business specific site. Try the UK Business Forums
