[QUOTE="plantman, post: 134832, member: 641"] I think the lower rate does apply on vintage items, but to actually get them to apply that rate is a rarity, to fill in a claim form could take ages as they would ask for proof ect, then be months in replying. The only issue with having it marked low is the seller cant claim on insurance if it gets lost or damaged, so i understand why they wont mark down price, you might be best off hitting a marginal charge like marking it at say $65, you still get a charge but customs are less wary of people importing. i mean to buy a load of stuff that costs $50 in postage but has a value of $30 may raise suspicions lol. ive also had a 2nd tier of tax, you can get charged tax = 20% in the UK Import duty = i think applies to items over £150? Parcelfarce handling fee which can be £8.50 or £13.50 depending on how much customs they pay and how big the parcel is. [/QUOTE]
