Default Re: Import Prices

It depends if you are unlucky or not, I have had loads of stuff from the US and Japan and have only ever had one major customs charge. That was for the Konamistyle MGS peace walker pack, the robbing arses charged me an extra £45.

If you can get them to mark the package as a 'gift, that will avoid all charges but is technically illegal. If they offer a 'blank packaging option' where they will pack it in a blank box instead of having 'gamestop' written on it - take it.

Worst case scenario you will be charged VAT @ 20% and possibly a couriers handling charge.
