Hi all. Have been a member for over 20 years but this is only the second thing I have sold.Is a high value antique item sold to the UK for $1999. Seller was aware prior to buying that they would be liable for VAT and import duties and had no qualms with that. I send Auspost international express and it has been sitting in UK customs for two weeks now.(HS cose "9706 9000 00", "antique") Initially buyer did not respond to my queries, but after repeated emails says they are in commun...

It could be right, UK customs do have different rules for private buyers and dealers, I can't remember what, but remember a very good friend from over there going through the same hurdles, as she had purchased a few items over the years, and they were starting to think for resale. But she just liked old ''junk''. edit, junk a technical term, it was an in joke between us, not having a go at your item.
