nittanypucker 1 Report post Posted August 5, 2010 Hi Mick,I've used them before and they are very good. I bet they could send your skates to Scotland. I would give them a call; their customer service is very helpful. For example, once I called and ordered something that was actually out of stock. They called me three times and emailed me so in order to notify me and then they helped me pick a similar product. Definitely give them a call. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Law Goalie 147 Report post Posted August 5, 2010 Sorry to say it, Mick, but you will get nailed. There's nothing HM or any other store can do. It could just be VAT + 8 quid, or the item could have anything from a 1% to a 100% duty applied ON TOP of VAT + 8.OK, just looked it up for you, and if they are declared and accepted at customs as "ice skates" (Commodity code: 9506 70 10 00) or "ice skate accessories" (9506 70 90 00), you'll only pay VAT + 8. If they are declared or accepted as "articles and equipment for other sports -- other" (9506 99 90 00 or 9506 91 10 90 or 9506 91 90 00), you'll get VAT + 2.7% + 8.
