i expected to maybe pay some V.A.T on some boots i bought from ebay USA, it turned out to be £11.00. i have found out out that the boots were actually made in Italy, and therefore V.A.T has already been paid on them once. THerefore, the V.A.T i was supposed to pay is not justified, and therefore neither is the parcelforce clearance fee. The invoice demanding this money says that i have to pay and then argue later, or else they will be returned to sender. so...how do i get MY money back.? |

go into parcelforce hq with 3 9mm's, 1 in each hand and one in your sock just incase. Start shooting at peoples knees. When they notice your around and start firing back, deflect the bullets with your 53mm u-boat watch and make your way upstairs to the big man. When you get there check outside for any mushrooms and if there's a power flower grab it as you may need this later if you run out of ammo. Go inside and take out any fuckers that are guarding the bastard. The boss man should stand up at this point, shoot both his knees in and tell him that unless he cancels your clearence fee you are going to unleash the wrath of your 9mm's and then explode some fire balls on his ass because you're having a bad day. Works every time dude, trust me. |

Doesn't matter surely where they're made? and even if they're made in Italy, doesn't mean they're actually made in Italy... Should've asked the seller to mark the value down. |

show them proof theat they were made in italy and that you didn't have to pay the money thats brilliant news..and you are one million per cent this is a true fact yes. i was certain what ririwan has said is the truth, it doesnt matter a thing where the goods are made, its where they are sent from..i have been importing and exporting for 10 years and have spent so much money paying customs charges etc, know you have said this, it might even change my life...nice one, you dont know how grateful i am that you have told me this, please confirm for me tho before i open the shampers. *rushes to fone and rings hong kong and tells his supplier to write 'Made in Italy' on all his phone shipments* |

things made in Europe have already had VAT paid on them, that is why we do not pay customs on items from europe. Effectively i have bought these shoes from europe, via America. |

That's absurb..... The seller should have understated the value so that customs wouldn't have charged you... |

he did, but not enough btw..i am much more bothered about the "parcelforce clearance fee" than the V.A.T |

The country of origin is NOT the country from where the product is shipped. The country of origin is the country where the product was manufactured |

maybe some VAT has been paid,but your buying at retail dont forget, they paid VAt on wholesale and will have claimed it back. Example... Factory makes the boots and sells £10 a pair then ship them to the buyer in at £11.7 if they pay VAT, they then sell them to you for say £30, leaves you paying £35.1 . I have to charge VAT on goods, aswell as pay it when they arrive. The buck always lands at the consumers door in the end. |

I am hoping that someone will be able to help me regarding VAT and parcel force. I moved here from San Francisco in 2007 bringing all my personal belongings with me including my laptop which were exempt from any VAT and custom charges. Canela |
