Hi
I ordered some clothes from this american store
http://www.threadless.com
I got 1 tshirt at 5 dollars
1 tshirt at 20 dollars
1 hoody at 40 dollars
so thats a total of 65 dollars with free shipping
anyway i got one of those grey cards from the post office through my door the other day saying i have a £15.73 customs charge! thats seems alot to me, nearly 30%!
so i went on this website
http://www.dutycalculator.com/
which claims to be completely accurate and it says i should only have to pay £7 vat
What do you guys reckon, am i being charged so much and if so what should i do?
