Import from Japan
Options
I want to buy some marker pens from Japan. It'll cost me roughly £1400.00 with no delivery charge.
How much would it cost me to bring it here they vat and import duty etc
A friend of mine said some items from Japan don't get charged but may still have to pay vat.
If I buy from the UK, I'll be paying £2000.00.
Any help will be greatly appreciated, thank you

You may save £200 - £300 buying from Japan but factor in losses for damaged items that could bring it much closer
to the UK price.Fully insured delivery? What if its partly damaged or does not arrive? A trip to Japan to claim your refund wont be cheap.Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...0 -
the long wait may not be worth it
