通常你在美国买回的东西需要加付VAT

any item with value over 18pounds(25pounds for gift) that u ordered from non-eu country will occur a vat when it is delivered to your address. specially camera and other electronical stuff. so b very careful about that...

You mean....

Isn't that clear enough?
US is not EU country, so if u order high-value stuff from the states, there's a great chance that u 'll pay the VAT on it. it won't b cheap any more. and that' the reason why people here buy DVD or CD from abroad, but no one buy Digital Camera from the states, though the price is very cheap.

简单说，邮包声明价值上面再增加20%。 我曾经在美国定购一个4500美圆的东西，交易前跟厂家打电话，他同意帮忙，货品的声明价值写了500美圆，英国关税VAT只交了40镑。不过当然货物的保险还是全额的。这样是‘非法’的，但是只要商家肯帮忙，没人管。
