now there's your problem see...
i have several items, but they all from Hong Kong or surrounds, and i don't want to have to sell spare organs to pay off C&E

Well when
it comes to customs if it's a gift you don't have to pay duty, but of course if they realise it's a business transcation they'll keep it until you pay up. As for organs that's up to you - you only need one kidney....

hmm, shall have to contact the sellers
a £250 camera for £170 seems a good deal, but then if they bloody tax me it'll ruin the whole procedure.

yeah it's not great
i've been taxed on something from CDwow before (also from hongkong) but as stated above it should be ok if it's a gift. Ask the seller to wrap it in wrapping paper or something :D

edit: i'm sure you'll be able to find something if you google enough for it

try
the customs and excise office...something something.gov.uk, prolly.

Customs is usually dependant on price, what you intend to do with it, etc...if you buy it through a uk company, you shouldn't have to pay tax at all no matter where it comes from...and if you buy it frong hk then sometimes it comes vat-free as you're taking it overseas

besides, the posting cost will be huge...trust me...so you might be better buying something here

Well I thought

that's the best thing about this place
if it is too wierd a concept for 'normal' people, it fits right in here
