[QUOTE="daveydempsey, post: 9804124, member: 22"]How was it described on the customs form and what value was written on it. If it was an eBay purchase was the fee taken automatically via eBay? I rarely buy from overseas but a few years ago, before Brexit and eBays automatic customs charges, I bought something for $20 from the US, the seller would not send International so I got a friend to buy and send it. I told her to put a nominal amount on the customs form like $2 She wrote it as $2.00 but when it arrived in the UK the decimal point was barely visible and HM Customs read it as $200 and made me pay £14 before they would allow delivery. My appeal fell on deaf ears.[/QUOTE]
