Buying Box sets of DVD movies on E.Bay.com is no problem: how do you get round Customs tax on U.K.import.?

Whether you get charged import tax depends on who you buy from.

Anything sent via UPS -always- gets inspected by customs and you get charged tax.

Anything sent by normal post and declared as a "gift" usually escapes import tax.

Their P&P is free and I've never been caught for duty and I've bought hundreds of videos/dvds off them, and I've never limited my orders to price.

If the package is marked as a gift then it should be exempt of import tax because tax can only be charged on commercial goods.

I think that is whole sites like Play.com get around customs and I've had packages sent from the US before (via Ebay purchase) that have been marked as a gift and I've not had to pay tax.

I've bought loads of items from Amazon.com and I've only been hit with the customs charge twice. I balance it with the savings I'm making and I've still come out on top. Customs only does random checks - and it's not HMRC that charges you £6 it's the sorting office. HMRC only charges you the VAT due which is fair enough.

'Proper' stores can't mark your item as a gift as if they're caught it's fraud.

But eBay sellers usually do mark their stuff a gifts.

So what your asking for is advice on how to evade paying duty and tax?

That is illegal.

I'll bet you still want to be able to access the NHS services and get your state pension though don't you?

Well it ain't free, taxes pay for it.

The suggestion of marking them as gifts is bollox

Siempre me gusta ver películas y como los he encontrado tan baratos en internet, me hecho una pequeña colección de DVD. Siempre encuentro el género de película que quiero en amazon y además son películas de calidad, cada vez que acabo de ver una película vuelvo en amazon para comprar otra, excelentes película y excelente calidad.
