Just a quickie: what's the best way to mark down hardware for import?
I'm just about to order from VideoGamesPlus.ca and I know they're very accommodating about marking things down, but in the event that the package gets opened it'll look pretty suspicious if a console is marked as having a value of $20.
I think I read on one of the Xbox 360 import threads about a console being marked down as a "warranty return". Is this the correct working for customs?
Cheers,
Stroller.

DHL (who they use for consoles) also tend to declare everything so import duty is pretty likely (but not always).
i bought a us PSP from them and DHL stol.... erm lost it and credit to Sidney sent a replacement and it was marked at $20
i guess its a lot of money to lose especially since DHL will only pay out $20cdn on each item lost

I have just bought a PS3... well have bought a pre-sale PS3.
I wanted to know what the VAT & Custom charges would be for importing it into the UK?? I have checked on the HM Customs site and couldn't find a specific VAT/duty rate for video games consoles.
So can anyone help me out here and tell me how much I would be looking to pay? Also, is there any way I could avoid or reduce the amount of duty that customs will levy on my PS3?
I have paid $1,599 for it ... yes I know its a LOT of money but what can I say... I'm a sucker for this kind of stuff. Aren't we all
It will be shipped by USPS Global Express Mail.Last edited by mzaslam; 23-10-2006, 11:26.
