Hi,
I was wondering if anybody could help me regarding a question about Customs Duty.
If I want to buy some clothing from the US I have to pay customs duty when they arrive. Does anyone know if the duty incurred is less if you buy in bulk? My reason being is that I want to pass on the saving to the customer if this is the case. As an example:
If I buy 1 pair of jeans from the states for €100 inc VAT when they arrive lets say I have to pay duty of 20% on top of that. So my total cost is €120.
Now if I were to buy 20 pairs of jeans each worth €100 inc VAT. When they arrive to I still have to pay 20% or is their a sliding scale implemented?
I have had no luck with Customs and Excise as they have a tariff book bigger than the bible and were not very helpful. They also say that they can only work out the charge once it has landed, which is not much help to me in my financial projections. Is there anyone else I can talk to about this duty charge? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
