I just received an invoice from Parcel Force Worldwide advising that I have been sent a parcel from overseas (US of A), delivery of which is subject to payment of Customs charges raised by UK Border Agency on behalf of HM Revenue & Customs.
I can only imagine that this is the product I ordered from BJJSports.com which I mentioned in an earlier post.
The charges are “Import VAT” and a “Clearance Fee”, totalling to about 38% of the product price incl. shipment.
What this means (my own speculations) is that a white Gameness Pearl Weave Gi (just an example) would come to a total approximately $194.51 or £118.65 (once again, my own speculative calculations) which is very comparable to some of the UK based outlets.
I placed the order on the 25th of May (18 days ago) and will pay the fees today.
I will update you as this progresses. Stay tuned.
