    Default Import duty on migro lights

    Any one else had this when buying lights direct from Migro (Ireland)? I have just had an email from DPD asking for £241 import duty.

    Just had an email from Migro "No taxes are applied at the time of purchase for UK customers, these UK customs taxes are collected by DPD prior to delivery at a rate of 20% of the total cost plus a £6 handling fee."

    This should be made clear at time of purchase and not in the small print under Frequently Asked Questions.

    Yeah I agree, it should be placed in a visible area near where it shows the price of the product, and in the checkout stage as a highly visible 'additional cost', so consumers are fully informed of the total cost, and there are no nasty surprises.

    It's certainly not an insignificant amount either.

    It does state that 20% tax is payable before you purchase.
    That doesn’t help you though,I’ve had it happen,not a pleasant feeling.
    Nice lights though
    Sorry dear

    Good grief, you could have gone over there and brought it back yourself, and have a little city break with that kind of money! Really sorry.
