Re: VAT & Customs Duty on imported items
A useful reminder of how it all works David.
The Post Office handling fee may appear unreasonable, but it actually reflects the cost of paying the officers who run the inevitable bureaucratic system. Trade has both tariff barriers and non-tariff barriers and the latter also have to be administered: they’re usually technical in nature and are often more costly than the tariffs themselves. That’s why free trade areas were invented. I must shut up at this point or I’ll be OT.
