Hi Greg I’m not quite a shipping chauvinist yet. I always used to sell “worldwide” to any destination but when Covid hit, I reduced international destinations and have only reinstated a small number of countries. Customs and other issues just make it not worth the risk. Fortunately, there are more customers than ever in Australia, the US plus a few other countries.

After having postal problems in Portugal, missing movie memorabilia in Mexico, and angered Anglos in England, I've become a shipping chauvinist. (Albeit one who overuses alliteration....)

I had previously advised him that I was required to declare the full value and he agreed to that. It is now sitting in customs in the UK and he has apparently refused to pay the duty so it will end up being returned to me. My understanding of the regulations is: For amounts under £146.00 we have to collect customs duty and submit it to the UK government. For any amount over £146.00, the buyer has to pay whatever duty is applicable. I’m not interested in being a tax collector for the UK government so just curious about how other sellers on MoPo deal with the requirements. Also, is there any exemption for US sellers?
