Custom Limit (2012)

[Deafjeff]

Hi guys,

Im wondering if anyone would be kind enough here to point out how much the limit would be before paying additional duties?

[Britchick]

Goods to bring back is £390 currently

[Deafjeff]

Thanks so I guess I have approx $616 to spend on shopping goods before paying the duties back here?

I don't know what exchange rate they use but approximately yes.

Don't forget that if one item goes over that amount then duty is due on the whole amount

Thanks so duty will need to be paid for the whole £390 or just for the item tipped the balance?

Sort of.....if you bought £500 of individual items you would pay duty on £110

If you bought one single item worth £500 then you would pay duty on the £500

Does that make sense?
