customs charges on old item
Discussion
Just bought a camera lens from japan and received a letter saying vat is due i would understand if it was new but as far as i can tell it was made sometime before 1977.
Item was £32.54/$49.99 postage was £19.53/$30 i have to pay £8.44 vat + £13.50 clearance fee. as far as i can see vat was about 8% in 1977 so do i have any comeback on what i have been charged or do i just say ah well and go take some photos![smile](/inc/images/smile.gif)
