importing goods

Hi there does anyone know of how much duty or tax they have to pay if you are buying goods from a site like ali baba.com which I believe is based in the USA.Also if someone has bought from this supplier what are your recommendations.


Many thanks

    ali baba.com is Chinese, although they're planning stock flotation in New York.

    And it's not a supplier, it's a platform for suppliers like ebay. It's the world’s largest online business-to-business platform.

    The ali baba.com site will help you manage tax. And it has a forum you can read/ask questions.
  • I was looking into it. Any links which can be helpful.
