    Probably to be honest. I ordered 2 bootlegs once and i had to pay £11 import.

    If you google it you should be able to find a calculator to work how much it will be but i would factor it in to the overall price yes.

    I think it will be more. Like i said i had to pay £11 just for 2 boots (about $34 worth? say £27?)

    i get the feeling i have sometimes not paid any , the guy from the post office said it could be hit and miss . i think you just have to bite the bullet and pay the price , i get the feeling it could be worth it .

    i don't get that customs tax . i sell on eBay and i always mark it down as a gift for low value about 5.00 bucks .

    as an American why don't we have to pay that customs tax ??

    i would try an American friend and have them fill the customs form out right ;)

    if you ask them to put the value as $10 when ordering should work.
    or same as above and have the item sent as a gift...

    Good question-the dreaded Uk tax. Must admit this put me off joining,then joined after O2 gig,have bought about 15 items in last 7 months and NOT paid any tax.Heaviest/biggest item i have purchased so far was the PJ 10club hoody,paid no tax.Rest of my purchases have mainly been cds. I think it has something to do with weight of item you import. You could always phone HM customs for clarification. Ive just ordered the Philly boxset,but will have to wait to see if customs grab it-if I have to pay tax so be it,not bad after importing 15+ items.

    .

    Taxes have all to do with the declared value of the goods, not the weight.
