how much is the import tax charges on a microstick?

[geordie_vaper]

had a little google search and i am non the wiser i no there will be a charge but cant seem to find out how much

[Cousin Itt]

A quick google says the duty is 3.7% on e cigs / vaporisers etc
so it would be product cost + shipping charge + 3.7% + 20% vat + what ever handling charge royal mail want for the paper work .

Iv had a few charges from them but not on ecigs, 20% of the value of the item and the handling fee , handling fee isn't to much I'd say on average iv paid around £6 mate

at my local PO handling charge is £8... and I think they'd add the VAT to the value of the item, so +20%

I must be the odd one out. Ive not had to pay anything on 2 orders from the states and 5 FT orders.
Ive probably just jinxed myself now and will be hit on the order I got on its way now.

I've only received 1 thing from FT, it cost about $30, but they put the value as $3.28, and 'Gift', so I doubt many of them get picked up!!

I got a £5.95 vat charge and £8 post office handling fee on a $50 pair of tanks from billet box America.

I'm expecting about £30 fee for my microstick, for vat and p.o. cost. bah! makes my gear pricey

[geordie_vaper]

getting a few gus aiolos or whatever there called €55 compared to a spheroid what 70 80 euros or somthing
