???? Are you sure about this Nick? If you import something into the UK, there is an import duty + VAT payable on top (I'm pretty sure - since I've been charged this once on camera items from the US going through a UK airport). I don't see how you can legally claim them as business otherwise. Surely all imports to the UK have these charges on them going through the legal route. Although I'm sure many people simply don't pay them, but also hopefully don't put them on their accounts. Regards Paul PS - I'm no expert on this matter, but this is how I have always understood UK law to work. -- Paul Tansley Fashion & Beauty Photography London +44 (0) 7973 669584 http://www.paultansley.com =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
