You'll pay at least 17.5%, but you may have duty and other handling charges on top. It's varied for me slightly from purchase to purchase.

You won't pay anymore than about 20% all in.

So if we assume $2 : £1, on $3000 you'll pay anything between £262 and £300 just to get it into the country. Joy! :roll:


Is VAT charged on used items in the UK now???

I know when I came to Canada that was one thing that I go frustrated by was that sales tax was levied on used items whereas in the UK it was only payable on new items.

As I say I can't speak for watches as I've not imported a Breitling or anything of comparable price, BUT yes I have been charged VAT on used items in the past. Half the time I think Customs just make it up as they go along!
