Skybox Owners - Question...

[TheApprentice]

I recently signed up for a skybox...

So i all excited... etc...

So what I want to know is how much customs, taxes, duty etc... you does have to pay when you order down something??

Say its a PS3 game I order @ 59.99 USD... how much taxes i would have to pay apart from the skybox shipping??

Or say its a graphics cards..how much?

[Saxito Pau]

duty of up to 20% on items.. said book is about 1400 pages...

Once you paying Duty, you paying VAT as well

some items carry VAT but no Duty.

most electronic items outside of most computers/computer parts will hit you VAT and duty....
 for safety add 35% to th4 value of what you want to bring in and the add you skybox's freight charges

Also be sure your items have 'significant' weight and  does not have a high volume to weight ratio (small item in large box), else your skybox may bill you dimensional weight instead of actual weight (l x b x h in inches)/166 = dim. weight in lbs

[TheApprentice]

well the skybox rates alright...

the first pound free...

and after that is like $14 and then it drop significantly as the weight gets higher..down to 10 and thing...
and well is small packages i ordering mainly dvd sized stuff...

that good?? it seems good to me..lol


@ laertes.. well I plan on bringing in 2-3 games at a time and possibly some blu-ray movies..... so what is a estimate or so?
that government printery to far... i doubt i'll ever be up North that early...only time is night for movietowne...


@Saxman

someone had told me 45% so i was kinda freaked..
But 35% as an estimate i guess not so bad...

Typically, you would pay between 80 TT and 120 TT (VAT/Duty) for a game/music CD, depending on the price.
