Hi out there,
I have just made a purchase in the US, buying some weatherstripping
for my LC. Naturally I have paid US purchase tax.
FedEx have just called to let me know that there is both import duty
and VAT to pay.
Surely there is only a small amount of VAT to pay if I have already
paid purchse tax in the country of origin?
This looks like double taxing, does anyone know if there is anything I
can do to lessen the amount paid? I would have thought there is either
none or the balance on the two, not that I pay twice!...or am I right
naive

Steve Ackhurst
