> Import tax! How much do they charge?
Bookmark topic
I am thinking of buying a something of ebay for a total cost of around $300 and i was wondering how much i would be likely to get charged when it arrives in this Country.
It is kind of luck of the draw really isn't it? I mean it may not even get stopped but you never know right? Does anyone have any idea what it would be at all?
Also how long after an item arrives would you get billed, is it straight away or a couple of weeks afterwards?
Thanks!
