UK customs current issues - Update: Yep mine has been seized

Recommended Posts

Had to apply for an EORI import license to receive a strap from Indonesia, which the seller had marked $40 gift. WTF? This was through DHL.

Anyone had any experience with Portuguese customs? Good or bad, i'd like to know

 

Thanks for resurrecting this thread - I didn't realise the information was a year out of date till I had got half way through it...

 

:noway:

I'm the same. Till I read your post I was hyper ventilating.

I have one waiting too, there's a thread on the geek with a few others who have watches stuck in this shipment. Dont panic yet!

 

Im guessing it was received and processed at Int Hub on the 23rd June?

I've not had anything seized in 13 transactions over the last 12 months. Is the secret to do with what's put on the shipping order? I've paid lots of vat and handling charges but no seizures and normally with me in the UK 2 weeks tops.

There is normally s couple of mailing options when purchasing and I always ask for the most expensive, most have arrived DHL when ordered.

Guess I'm lucky

DHL seems to be quite good for not getting seized. But every delivery using DHL has resulted in them charging me import taxes, and admin charge.

They've also lost two of mine...

Where does TC ship from, and are there customs risks buying from him? Bit late now I guess.

There's no risk really as he ships to a contact in Scotland first who then ships it on.

Not Hazz is it? Now that would be high risk!

His stuff has always arrived from Edinburgh for me. It's a woman's name in the return address.
