You pay a percentage of Duty and VAT on the CIF (Container Insurance Freight) Invoice total - the invoice your producer will send you.

You pay the shipping agent. He pays Revenue in most cases.

You'll also be liable to Port / Agency Fees; Handling Charges; Delivery.

If you import goods from outside the EU and they're not of merchantable quality have you any protection as a consumer? Can they be sued etc?
