Ouch!

14% Duty + 20% VAT - that would have to be a really cheap TV to still justify all of the hassle!

(Actually quite shocked at the duty level, the last thing I imported this way was an MPEG Video Camera, and I think the duty was either 3% or 5%, and no helpful websites to work it out for me, but I still had access to a tame Freight Forwarder to do tariff lookups at that point.)

Willard the Bear - I hope there isn't any duty on teddy bears!
