in Cutting tax
Hi,
I'll be receiving a shipment for medicated eye drops from USA (for my eye condition), they are not available in the UK.
They are very expensive (circa $800 with shipping), am i liable to pay duty on these even though its medication?
If so, i'd feel miffed that medication which could help my condition is being taxed when it's not even available in this country.
