Stuart Naylor Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Is everybody being hit with custom & handling charges via royal mail? Added a total of £11.72 to my OrangePi H3 plus2 £3.72 customs and £8.00 handling charge. Its no bother as just curiosity with Smaller format boards but just wondering is this a Brexit shape of things to come? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guidol Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Not royal mail, but the last time I did only order a $12.99 silver NAS-case for the NanoPi Neo2 + $10 postage I had to pay 68 TL (around 12 EUR) for the customs/handling here in turkey that are 52% on top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olivluca Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 In the EU 6 hours ago, Stuart Naylor said: is this a Brexit shape of things to come? No, it's an EU thing Edit: didn't finish - but there are variations depending on each country. Here in Spain, over 22€ you have to pay VAT + handling charges (IIRC 20 or so €), over 150€ you have to pay VAT + customs duties + handling charges. Less that 22€ you pay nothing (in theory). But many parcels pass through customs with no charges (they cannot control everything). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you order in China, ask them to mark it with a value like USD 11.- (this way ur are close to the truth). Customs will look at: postage + value == pay VAT or not.

Stuart Naylor Posted April 3, 2019 Author Share Posted April 3, 2019 Must of just gone over as £24.36 or unlucky as my BananaPoo M2 zero escaped the net. It just came from this "Border Force" HWDC thing I had never heard of before as just thought it was HMRC.
