LDT Posted August 13, 2009 Author Share Posted August 13, 2009 SO far I've had two people ask me if I'm selling my old concertina. Never thought it would be that popular...not after I 'decorated' it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyRussell Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 This is how the import costs work. Import duty on a musical instrument should be 3% on the purchase price, shown on a declaration chitty stuck by sender onto the package. Sometimes private sellers "forget" to make the declaration, then you need to get an appraisal of value if Customs twig it's chargable. Customs & Excise will charge VAT (currently 15%) on the total of; purchase price + shipping cost + duty. Tony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Dunk Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 (edited) When I bought a case from Greg Jowaisas a while back I was informed by letter of the payment I had to make, paid with a card via the website and then it was delivered in the normal way, I didn't have to collect it from anywhere. Edited to add a link to pics. Edited August 13, 2009 by tallship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDT Posted August 14, 2009 Author Share Posted August 14, 2009 managed to pay online...not as bad as I was expecting..although £12 for 'special' saturday delivery I thought was a bit sneeky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azalin Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 managed to pay online...not as bad as I was expecting..although £12 for 'special' saturday delivery I thought was a bit sneeky. Wow, the notion of a saturday delivery is non existant in Canada, at least in Quebec. I'd pay £12 anytime to have an instrument on saturday and to not have to wait until monday!
