Can't remember exactly and a bit complicated cos I doubled up with another forum member who was also buying a C-Brand. Think it was about £16 each.

sounds reasonable, thanks for that

UK customs have got a lot smarter. For my delivery they opened the parcel and looked at the cue. They decided that the cue was worth more than stated and charged as such. If you're lucky and customs are busy the parcel may get through without charges.
C- brand cues are still good value even if you have to pay charges IMO.

Then I have to keep my fingers crossed during the cue packing process I can issue a note and attach with the cue stating that the cue is a sample and the cost I charged is wholesaled, if this can help. Don't want to disturb your customs but I started this selling hobby so that players with a limited budget can get a quality cue for play. Tks for infor. Very helpful indeed.

My cue almost here, but the dreaded words on the tracking say "Invoiced to the recipient to obtain goods. The fee must be paid"
I guess it's going to be a letter, hope it's not too much

All my cues will be posted as "Sample, with US$55 Value".
It normally helps on the custom clearance.
Fingers crossed.

Thanks Suvit, just got to be a little patient, and fingers crossed it's only a nominal amount

I got four this week from Niche and the duty was only £31.

Received letter this morning, just paid it now, was £12.42 vat + £13.50 clearance fee so £25.92 total, happy enough with that

Not bad mate. Wonder how they work it out? If VAT is 20% then they valued the cue at £62.10? Maybe used Suvit's $55, said sod-it this is a nice cue so we'll double it!! lol.
When I tried to research this a few years ago I seem to remember that they charge DUTY and VAT. I guess the rule is... if its a small amount pay and if its a large amount query it.
look forward to hearing more when you've had a hit.

I think the import VAT is payable on cue value and also the postage cost !
The Customs Duty was 0, as was the Excise Duty, scheduled for Tuesday delivery via Parcelforce

Thanks, forgot about the delivery charge....20% on that as well....bar stewards...... Must have used Suvit's $55 after all so I would say.... Bargain!!!

Yep I did a free calculation on the web thingy, and it charges you for the package and the postage added together then works out what you owe.

i still have cue No. 4 (burl butt with blue veneer, maple) and one plain black (tip 10mm, made for a pool customer) selling at a much lower than wholesale listing. messages coming in but can't get hold of them properly. any interest, please email me for specs, price, and shipping fee at : suvitc@gmail.com it's easier for me to send pictures and specs. thanks. (by the way, we have fresh ash blanks coming in, both with good and standard looking arrows. stiff and well dried. should make great ball hitting. can place orders now. plain black ebony butt with these ash shafts should be great. rgds.
