Title: Cost of importing cricket equipment from Asia
Post by: cricket247365 on January 29, 2011, 06:39:19 PM

Could anyone shed some light on the import duties and tax that would be expected to be paid on cricket equipment when looking to import a large amount to start a brand?

Any help would be appreciated.

duty calculator say no duty just import VAT of 20%.

Can anyone shed some light to whether there is any duty to be paid?

On another note, very impressed with the new H4L website.

Duty will be just an admin charge of £15-£20 to process the goods but u will get hit with import vat @ 20% as Matt says.
