Import tax and holding in the UK
I ordered aroun/d 7 tshirts and one hoody to come over to the UK and on top of my DHL global mail charge, I faced a £50 import charge from the post office. Is there anyway around this charge, I have heard that lower the quantity of your order disqualifies your import charge. Does anyone know anything about this?

There is no way around it, unless you order shirts individually, but then you end up paying more for shipping.

You can't order 7 shirts at a time. Any orders over $30 are liable for import duty.



As a general rule, this means you can buy only in the following combinations:



1) 2 non-sale tees @ $15 each

2) 1 non-sale Select @ $25

3) 3 sale tees @ $10 each

4) 1 sale Select @ $20 and 1 sale tee @ $10

5) 1 sale hoody @ £25

I'm going to make three seperate orders

order 1/ 1 hoody

order 2/ 1 hoody

order 3/ 2 t-shirts

If I do this, I wont face any import tax on the three orders? Right?

Correct., as long as you're buying the hoodies today.
