Title: Customs
Post by: Fantastic on January 14, 2013, 05:25:09 PM

Can anyone explain to me why the ca15000 ordered from ca sports in Pakistan to be delivered to south Africa is in heathrow airport stuck in customs? They saying "custom clearance delay". Is it something I should be worried about?

Probably no direct freight links from Pakistan to SA.
Nothing to worry about I'd say

delay in paperwork being formed i would think, common occurrence with most customs clearances.

Depends on where you ordered it from. If it was a UK based seller then this would make sense. If it was to ship to SA direct from Pak, then i also would question why it was in customs at Heathrow as duty would only apply on entry to SA.

Yes, I would be a little worried, just in case it has been sent to the wrong place. I ordered some memoribilia after the last World Cup and the tracking said "it has arrived in the destination country ... Germany"!

Unfortunately, I never saw it after that

Thanks for all the replies. I emailed ca sports informing them about this.

Just bringing up an old topic.
FYI the friendly tax man now charges 20% import duty on gifts with a declared value of more than £34

This is only for imports from outside the EU.
