Not sure but I know you can get a 17.5% discount from VAT (value added tax). Ask the person to discount it and file and not to pay VAT.

Very much depends on what the goods are.  There are different tariffs for different products if you ring Customs and Excise they will give you all the information you require.

1) Where are you travelling from - Abroad or just outside London\n2) Was the offence in the UK or abroad\n\nWithout knowing this we can't answer properly but, unless there are still outstanding warrants out on you, you should be fine.\n\nOf course if the crimes were in the UK and there are still warrants out they will let you in, and escort you to the nearest police station

An import tariff is a tax that your own country is imposing on you for buying these items from another country. The reason is twofold. One is to earn money for them, the other is to encourage you to buy things made in your own country to keep its economy strong.

That depends on how he earnt it. If it was a salary payment or a payment under an employment or self-employment contract to an individual, then generally not. \n\nIf it came from the sale of goods or services which were subject to VAT, then yes, he does. HM Revenue & Customs will be able to advise.

They ship it with postage due.  But since they weighed it, they should have charged you appropriately.

I would say use a courier, DHL offer a worldwide service and a tracking service. \n\nWith customs and import taxes, it will depend on each individual country and how many are being shipped. You will need to familiarise yourself with various countries rules. In the UK the website would be www.hmrc.gov.uk. The link below is for a PDF file with information about import valuations. http://customs.hmrc.gov.uk/channelsPortalWebApp/downloadFile?contentID=HMCE_CL_000230\n\nYou may also wish to consider that most countries have different keyboard layouts and that laptops with "foreign" layouts are not popular in most countries. \n\nAre they high spec laptops?? Are they cheap?? As a retailer of computers in the UK, I can purchase laptops from numerous sources, but the profit margins are quite small. The cheapest laptops here (celeron/256/14"VGA)  are £399 (US $725). While there are some that sell for £1500, the majority sell between £500-£700. \n\nFinally, if you would like to contact me, please do. And if you want to send me a free laptop (to test the customs rules), it would be gratefully received ;)

you can't yet. The decision n whether it will be allowed is made next week.\n\nI should imagine within a few hours of the decision IF it goes in favor of import without duty tesco, sainsbury etc will have this on their websites.

Indeed. A package to the UK from the US took longer to arrrive with DHL Express than one sent ordinary airmail through the ordinary US postal system (and cost a lot more)

What customs in both Ireland and the UK is trying to do is to stop smuggling. They will have fixed an arbitrary amount of cigarettes on the assumption that only that amount could be for your personal consumption, any more and you must be selling them. I believe there was something recently in the European Court regarding drinks, which is similar.

1689 Stamp Act\nStamp Duty was first introduced in England in 1694 following the Dutch model as An act for granting to Their Majesties several duties on Vellum, Parchment and Paper for 4 years, towards carrying on the war against France.\n\nThe duty ranged between 1 penny to shillings on a number of different legal documents including insurance policies, documents used as evidence in courts, grants of honour, grants of probate and letters of administration. It raised around £50,000 a year and although it was initially a temporary measure, it proved so successful that its use was continued
