Hi all
Last time I looked into it, good bought from outside of the EU did not incur any import duties or costs if under £18. But that was a good couple of years ago or so, and I wondered if anything has changed since then.
I'm sure there was an MSE article about it at one point, but I've just looked and could not find it. If there is an article (or somewhere else to go with all the info clearly explained) would someone kindly post a link for me?
Many thanks
Max

I can't help with the link, but the VAT free limit has now been lowered to £15.
Import duty kicks in above £135.0 -

Yes, it's now £15.I'm sure there was an MSE article about it at one point, but I've just looked and could not find it. If there is an article (or somewhere else to go with all the info clearly explained) would someone kindly post a link for me?
