Trading Note regarding above Canadian experience: We have not had this report for same packages shipped to Canada via US Postal system. In fact a few regular Canadian customers have told us that they ALWAYS use postal, as UPS shipped packages seem to incur maximum fees when going through customs. |
-
ITALY: Received from customer, bought US$200.00 of by-pound fabric in July, 2002:
They not only charge 20 percent of IVA, which is the state tax, but also 14 percent in fabric tax (?) and 17 percent in customs processing charges.
-
UNITED KINGDOM: Beginning in 2004 we've noticed an increase in comments from our British (UK) customers that they are being assessed more in VAT and import fees than previously. As this seems to be inconsistent, we have no hard info on the present rates. Please contact your local VAT/Postal/Import authorities to learn the latest rates.
