hi guys,
I used to have the commodity code written down but can 't find it. does anyone happen to have it on hand? I will be sending some stuff to the uk and would like to save people the customs fees.
thanks

State item qualifies as 'Old Collectable Toy' HMRC code 9705000090 and that it should be charged at only 5% VAT. Unfortunately, no matter what the taxable amount it will still be liable to an additional handling fee of £8 for the recipient.
Alternatively if it's low cost you can assign $20 value to the item and then it wont be charged at all.
