hunnymonster said:The way it should work (according to more than one HMRC leaflet I've read on the subject) is that anything entering the EU that is declared as less than EUR22/GBP18 comes in unimpeded and uncharged. Anything declared at EUR22/GBP18 and above attracts the charges and the postage is taken in to account then...
The problem is that for non-UPU postal services - like DHL/FedEx/UPS/etc - they want to charge as many people as possible because their fees are so much higher generally than the PO (although DHL have a minimum charge lower than the PO's flat fee), and it's easy money - especially when most people won't challenge it because they don't understand it.

In round numbers... $100 = £60
So we'd get charged 17.5% VAT on that £60 + the postage charge... that's usually less of a problem than the next bit, you know all's fair in death & taxes...
The £8 handling charge from the Post Office... so around £20 to pay at the doorstep for delivery.
