It appears to me to 17.5% of the total price not with the £18 taken off, last mega amount I paid waas for the Please be patietn with me I have autism Tshirts for Mandi Mart, with the shipping being heavy and them adding that in - a reallypainful moment. What makes me mad is having to pay Parcel Force charging £15+ for the pleasure of taking your money. Its only a couple of quid with DHL. My favourite is Global Priority, quick and 50/50- chance of coming in under the wire Mandi x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Hi Margaret. I think that the customs people calculate the duty as a % of the value, after deducting the amount of value that they allow as tax free. Therefore, if the package doesn't have the value marked on the package, or a low value, or even stating on the outside of the package, that the contents have no retail value, the customs have to believe the sender and not charge any tax, or decide to open the package to find out.
