>> No Vat as import, never had a question on import duty from my accountant who
Way back 28 Oct 02 Clive Bubley alerted me to the question of VAT on imported goods. I've kept his email and have referred to it several times. I have posted a section of it below as I'm sure that Clive won't mind. Its worth ensuring that you declare everything that you import as the last thing you need is a VAT inspector knocking on your door at 05.00hrs..... Ring the VAT National Advice Service and check with them > Having obtained the relevant classification codes for Film Cameras, > Digital Cameras and Lenses, the rates of duty quoted were thus: > > 35mm SLR Film camera code 9006510000 Duty 4.2% > > Digital camera code 8525401100 No Duty > Lens if purchased with and on camera No Duty > > However, if purchased separately > Lens 25mm to150mm dia 60mm to190mm code 9002110050 6.7% > Lens other focal lengths code 9002110090 6.7% callan ps Don't mention my name. =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
