Orange777:
Anyone know of a good way round being robbed by customs? I bought a snowboard few years ago from the US and paid more than the cost of the boar :-[ :-[d in Import Tax

Found a bike in the US and the seller is suggesting he will mark it as "Vintage Bike Parts"

Any help is appreciated!!

Get them to tick as a GIFT and dumb down the value on the label. I've received parcels with "Happy Birthday" scribbled all over them in the past too  :LolLolLolLol:

Did not even know you did not have to pay tax on gifts!! More money wasted over the years. DOH

Thanks Nick  :LolLolLolLol:

If I get any more tax evasion questions - I know where to come!!

If you knock the price down would you not be in trouble if it got lost? Or would it be coverd by a separate insurance?
