Might be 20% VAT and the Post Office handling charge of £8.

I was told that the charge is random, but saying that, not one has randomly missed a charge. I find it spends more time in customs than it does travelling half way round the globe. You might get lucky.

Maurice speaks of the expected import duty here above, and in my experiences, he is spot on including the handling fee.

Obviously, it never helps here, if someone values your paid £250 feature at an insurance valuation figure of £300 to £400 during transportation, as this is what the 20% figure will be based upon!

Were what "copies" ever in LPP???

Sorry, I'm really struggling with this question from anyone other than a total novice?

Nowadays, via our fabulous customs & excise duty officers, you pays what you what you pays, quite frankly!
It's a joke, but it's not that funny, remember!

Tis what it is these days, take it or leave it!

I've never done too well out of it without describing my oversees sellers as true friends who are willing to do all they can to help out GENUINE oversee's collectors who give what they get!

Here is the "Joke" of the matter.
Made in Birmingham UK.
Person buys new... pays the UK duty.
Gets shipped sometime later to Oz, The States or wherever.
Gets imported back to it's native land of origin
UK resident pays excessive Customs & Excise Duty once again!!

No Fun whatsoever! [Mad]

Enjoy!! [Wink]

The only Disney extracts I have seen on low fade stock were on Agfa not LPP. Others (UK prints) have mainly been on Fuji.
