  1. Ordered an ASI120MM from ZWO. HMRC want £80 in duty/tax. I expected 20% VAT. But it should be duty free. So £199 + £20 shipping. Why £80!?

      Just the camera. Assuming its classed as a 'digital camera' and from Hong Kong. According to a duty calculation website it should be £44. Then 2% or £6 handling fees.

      They are just saying its £79. No itemised bill. Perhaps DHL are adding on fees without good reason. I didn't ask for them to courier it. Not sure why they can ask for fees I didn't agree to when buying the item.

      Dan - I agree. sounds like profiteering. Ask for proof of the charge and calculation - you may also want to query with ZWO, who will own the delivery contract with DHL. Good luck.
