Hi,
My son who has an ebay account paid for an item to be shipped from the USA to the UK using the Global Shipping programme ensuring all cutoms import charges etc.would be met as specified in the GSP small print. However, he is now facing a bill by UK customs of over £80 as the import charges have not been paid. Can anyone advise what may of gone wrong and why he is potentially having to pay customs import duty twice?
Many thanks
You will have to ask GSP, I would never use such an expensive service, but I would have thought that GSP in some way indicate on the packet in the address perhaps that duty has been paid.
Are you sure that the US seller has not got round this in some way and posted direct outside the GSP or that the item is not allowed in GSP.
