Anyone had experience of doing MRs every week to London six times in a row? How does the UK customs treat you, and what about the US customs? Did you make purchases?
I'm looking at the Customs website and it states that only one $800 dutyfree declaration may be declared every 30 days. This is NOT good for me as I intended to connect to other European countries and will certainly buy souvenirs...</font>
If you're doing a true mileage run (i.e. 2-4 hours in London), the more important rule is that you only get the $800 exemption if you have been gone for at least 48 hours. And if neither of these apply (either because you were gone <48 hours or you used the exemption already in the last 30 days), then you still have a $200 exemption per trip. See
