[quote user="Robby P."]Ulrich........What do you mean by "custom duty".  I've never had to pay anything like that.  I shipped the Ann Arbor car to United Kingdom, and he has to pay a fee.  Is it something you give the post man?  also how much?   I've always wondered about it.  [/quote] Robby P.  - you are right, it was not duty, but "Einfuhrumsatzsteuer", i.e. VAT. Unlike in USA, where you don´t have to pay sales tax, when you order from a out-of-state source, you always have to pay VAT in the EU. However, if the value is less than 30 $, no VAT is applicable. UK may be diffrerent.
