Uk charges

[andrewphayes1986]

I wasw wondering from other peoples experiance about any hidden charges and such on ordering any VKB flight sticks and throttles from the european sites, it does say it includes taxs but a seller on ebay said there were more hidden charegs when i sore the flight stick he was selling was the same one.

He had it listed for the price of it brand new so thought i might aswell get a brand new one for the same price....

 

Any help would be appreciated, my Hotas setiup is aging and from what i have researched these are the top of line for users.

 

 

Cheers in advance.

Usually you have to pay import taxes and VAT on top.

When I brought stuff from the US to Germany I usually paid 3% toy tax ( R/C engines are considered toys ) and the current VAT. 

Basically, you pay a specific amount of tax for the good you buy ( toy, car, light bulbs, clothing etc.. they all have tax rates ) and the VAT.

What you don't have to pay is the VAT in the seller's country, you skip that when you take it out of that country. That should be stated on their site when you check out,..usually.

 

Call customs, they can tell you.
