Buying from the uk
#1
Hello,

I have had good experiences with the shop unmannedtech and their prices do seem quite competitive but I'm struggling to find clear information on importing my stuff back to the eu from the uk. As i want to get a lipo (which might be dangerous), i am just wondering if anyone has had some experience or information doing so.

I have informed myself but there isn't a definite answer and the site talking about extra right to import fees that depend on the product is currently down.

Probably not a good idea right now. Brexit is causing some disruption to delivery at the moment.
I ordered things from Spain and it took nearly a month to arrive (used to take 3-5 days). A friend in Europe had similar problems this year ordering from the UK.
Not sure about custom tax though, my order from Spain was over 100 GBP and I didn't get struck by VAT.

Didn't dare to do it at the end, I hope your economy doesn't suffer to hard from brexit. One month for items from eu is not great indeed, i'm guessing the customs took most of the time? Other then that, have you notice a rise in everyday prices? Or have they gone down?

To anyone reading this searching for more info basically, here is the set of fees for BE:
Under 22euros intrinsic value, no VAT
Above will always have 21% VAT charged
Another "right to import fee" is added it depends on the items and can range from 4 to 13%, this is cancelled if the value is less than 150e
Specific rules apply to tobacco, alcool and energy drinks
The post service will charge for presentation to the customs some fee (could not figure out the amout)
Another list of items may incure more charges but i couldn't figure this out as their own official website is down and don't really want to spend money phoning in.

Probably wont help anyone but hey

Fear not, it's all going wonderfully well... just a few "teething problems".

By the way, this was the delivery note that says my order was affected by Brexit.
