    EU import charges

    Howdy all
    What sort of charges, if any, should I now expect of something is shipping from Spain to the UK? I don't mean postal charges I mean import fees.

    There's no duty on videogames, so just VAT at 20% for anything ordered online. Gifts over £39 also incur VAT. Plus any charges the courier has for clearing customs.

      So it's a MiSTer, specifically using a DB9 port which you can't seem to get from anyone other than Antonio Villena who is in Spain. Would the MiSTer classify as 'videogames' or would the 20% VAT be applied?

        You pay VAT - Duty and VAT are different things. Duty is an additional tax on top of VAT on certain product categories, there is no duty on videogames.

          I ordered a complete Mister that came from Portugal, the seller marked it down as £100 and was delivered via Royal Mail with no additional charges.
