Customs Clearance Question

[itchyrider]

Hi gaz, If you've paid the tax duties and they have the correct comercial invoice on your oakleys it shouldnt take long considering that they are all ready in the uk, As i work for fedex I have a funny fact for ya, Did you know that when fedex/dhl/ups, pick up a pair of glasses they should have a food declaration form with them as there is a coating on the lenses containing a food ingredient?

& Ps, America are really fussy gits when it come to shipping items across the water.

Nop - not paid yet, not had an invoice yet tbh the tracking says it's held at customs that's all ( parcel force )

Import duty on Oakley Glasses would be 2.9% of the glasses price including shipping cost, then add VAT at 20% then add the admin fee which will be around £10.

A good website is here for calculating import costs My link

Based on that I'll get hit £41

Still held :-(

Could I call parcel force and ask if it's waiting for duty payment ?

Suppose you could try, no harm in doing that. As I said earlier, if there is some duty or something to pay you should get something through the post soon telling you what and how to pay.

Would there be a specific number or just the general one for PF ? Getting bored now ;-)

Call PF customer services 08448 004466 and they will transfer you or give you the number to call -- make sure you have your tracking number.

Good luck
