To Chromebook Winners...

Does anyone know if import tax will be due? I used a calculator thing that said that £63 would be due but that was with me guessing the price of the Chromebook.

I'd really like to try and budget for this before it arrives!

Thank you. :)

    I once ordered an electronic device from the US, It's value was about £100. I paid about £7 in tax. the thing that really bugged me though was having to pay Parcel Force a further £14 pounds to deliver the item from a depot to my address, this was because the item was sent with the US postal service who don't deliver in the UK.

    So yes, It's very likely you will have to pay tax.
