Doesn't seem right to me, I've looked into this and if you get anything from an EU country then you shouldn't have to pay any VAT.
you should look into it.

Import tax on Dolk, by snakes on Sept 6, 2007 19:59:27 GMT 1, Unfortunately we should all technically be getting a bill for taxes due - its just that some of us have been lucky and for some reason or another our said prints have slipped through the net!
Now makes that first one that sold at auction on ebay seem like a bargain!!!

I got a Customs charge as well for ยฃ26.55, I'm afraid we've just been unlucky this time.
Great print though

Import tax on Dolk, by closeencounters on Sept 7, 2007 20:09:36 GMT 1, Got my GWT today - complete with extra customs charge, a couple of nasty dints in the back and a few scratches on the girl's body too, there was no tissue paper which could account for the scratches but the dints must have happened before it was packaged as the tube was unmarked?!
it's a really stunning image and lovely print, just a shame the way it's reached me that's all.
i think the fact that the full invoice details and value of the contents could have something to do with the customs charge, maybe - not too sure on this but surely it would have been better to hide this information too, no?
does anyone know what the score is with refunds/ replacements?

Import tax on Dolk, by jellya on Sept 7, 2007 20:25:40 GMT 1, Sorry to hear that closeencounters
I agree that putting a content description (and price) so clearly on view isn't good! If recent investigations are right, there are undoubtedly some postal sorting stations in the UK where that would have been given the once-over by some tea-leaf a$$hole.
I'd simply get in touch with Morten about the possibility of a replacement.

Also get him to zero rate the price and state that its a replacement otherwise you will most likely be stung twice for the charges!

Import tax on Dolk, by Suit on Sept 8, 2007 12:50:59 GMT 1, It's not the VAT that p**ses me off but the ยฃ8 Royal Mail charge, why should I pay them for the privilege of taking my money, and they don't even take cards in the office!
It does look like the prints were pushed in the tubes fairly vigorously, my print was OK put separating paper was pretty mashed at one end.
