Depending on the value marked you will most likly pay a percent of that value. but it looks like you will get it most likly they will send you a letter telling you to come pay for your item. if not I would call your local delivery hub. Usually they make you pay only if the item is deemed risky!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it doesn't get destroyed as an offensive weapon. Justin was telling me he's had one of yours get stopped Ken, and they destroyed it

Oh mate. I reckon I know whats going on here....... I think you are going to get charged extra £££ because of whatever value was written on the box. <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/confused.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":confused:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"confused.gif\" /> This is why if I ever buy anything from overseas I ask the seller to write on the box:-<u><b> "Movie Prop, Gift, Value $15." </b></u>That way it gets to me without customs adding charges. Good luck with it and post on here what happens and how much they sting you for if indeed they do. <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"

\" border=\"0\" alt=\"sad.gif\" /><!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEndAgreed... whenever I ship gloves overseas, I always put the value of the item under $50 to avoid these extra ridiculous charges. And ALWAYS mark it as a gift. If any questions arise I always tell people to say they won it in a contest. <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"

Sometimes its really up to the person working if they are having a bad day or not <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/confused.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":confused:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"confused.gif\" /> but ask fredsmidfinger if he marked it as a gift this is a given for any glove builder that alone gives you a good shot that it will make it thru. but too me it seems your item wont be destryed based on the info and ask him what he marked tha value at also. I messed up one time and I think someone had to pay like 40.00 usd to get it out <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":whistling:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"whistling.gif\" /> good luck

Your customs/government is trying to figure out how much extra to charge you for taxes & brokerage fees.They pull the same crap here in Canada. <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/verymad.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":verymad:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"verymad.gif\" /> If the seller from another country lists the value as a million dollars you get to pay the taxes on a million dollars. <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":biggrin:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"biggrin.gif\" />
