RE: FN-FORUM: Import & Export Costs?

Okay at the risk at sounding stupid here but I am confused I guess from
this..

"Purchase price $1,000.00
Shipping costs $125.00
Clearance costs $50.00
Total landed cost =3D $1,175.00

Sterling equivalent approx =A3640.00

Duty =3D (e.g.) 6% =3D =A338.40

Total for VAT =3D =A3678.40

VAT =3D =A3118.72"

I pay

Duty 38.40

+

VAT 118.72

To give me a landed cost of =A3157.12 yes / no?

John

The landed cost is the cost of the goods in the USA, plus the cost of
shipping them to the UK (including insurance) plus the cost of clearance
through customs. Duty is then calculated on that figure, and then VAT
is
lumped on top of that, e.g.

Purchase price $1,000.00
Shipping costs $125.00
Clearance costs $50.00
Total landed cost =3D $1,175.00

Sterling equivalent approx =A3640.00

Duty =3D (e.g.) 6% =3D =A338.40

Total for VAT =3D =A3678.40

VAT =3D =A3118.72
