Croppy,

If the goods are stopped by Customs you may be charged the VAT and the duty, somethings do get through without charge but some dont.

The total Vat amount includes the shipping charges too. Sorry to piss on your conflakes but its a fact :cry:

Tom.

He might be lucky, i've purchased a few reels from the states this year and shipped Via air-mail and so far no duty charges :D

Make sure it's marked up as a GIFT, improves your chances of avoiding customs charges :wink:
Come to think of it, so far i haven't been charged customs on anything i've bought from the states :roll:
