Di_Bodi Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) Hi everyone, I just want to find out do you all RHD Japan customers experience the same:I have purchased cusco adj. panhard rod from RHD Japan but after seweral days I have received an invoice from FedEx for €31.12 - I thought everything is covered by RHD as I paid €40 for shipment - why I've receveid invoice from FedEx so?And can I just ignore it? The Invoice says It's 'disbursements out of scope of EU Vat' and some 'Clearance Administration Charge' - SEE THE PHOTOS BELOW...That's crazy - I thought the shipping costs paid to seller (RHD) cover everything, don't they?I'm completely confused... Do you all guys get this and if so - do you pay FedEx or just tell them to f**k off?(Delivery was to Rep. of Ireland) Cheers Edited April 28, 2017 by Di_Bodi Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Broony Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) Import fees mate nothing you can do everyone gets them. Its the charge for handling the international shipping exchange and customs checks Edited April 28, 2017 by Broony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fozzie Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Whenever you import something, near enough every company will tell you that you are responsible for any import taxes/ charges. Their shipping charge rarely covers it.It's more than likely that Fedex won't release the item until you pay up, so you're probably stuck with it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 as above you will have to pay the fee before your part is delivered. i had to fork out £160 when my cage arrived in the uk. cheers nick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Di_Bodi Posted April 28, 2017 Author Share Posted April 28, 2017 The cusco rod was delivered before the invoice came... And it's for FedEx UK and I'm based in Ireland so the thought about to bin it is tempting although they've sent me a reminder already...

nikhilkamdar12 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Pay it mate, no way of getting round it, its a tax like many others that you will eventually have to pay Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Di_Bodi Posted April 28, 2017 Author Share Posted April 28, 2017 I know what you mean... they will keep chasing it... But what actually can they do I wonder? It's just I wasn't aware of this and will eventually end up paying total of €170 for the Panhard rod which is little bit crazy for a steel bar;-) Sent from my SM-G903F using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Calum122 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 That's wrong, they shouldn't have delivered the item if there was excess duty to be paid. Are you sure you've received everything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Di_Bodi Posted April 28, 2017 Author Share Posted April 28, 2017 Cusco rod and trd oil filter are already fitted mate:) The invoice was not even by registered post by the way... Sent from my SM-G903F using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TimD Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 This is what happens when you import things from other countries. By all means, put it in the bin, but they'll come after you. Is it really worth the hassle for 30 euro? It's not unusual to be invoiced for duty and tax after the item has been delivered, it speeds up the delivery process.

Di_Bodi Posted April 28, 2017 Author Share Posted April 28, 2017 Yeah... I'll have to pay for peace of mind and before they start threatening with penalties etc... Was just wondering do ye all get this after getting parts from Japan so Thanks a million to all!! Di_Bodi - EP91 n/a Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 yes every one get a charge its bascily a charge for import duty that fedex have payed on your behalf to save time then they bill you for it normaly you have to pay before they will release the part for delivery. cheers nick.

H_D Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Dont try to dodge vat charges. Not worth screwing your credit rating over 31 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Di_Bodi Posted April 28, 2017 Author Share Posted April 28, 2017 Paid already....damn taxes! But theoretically speaking: uk company screwing my irl credit rating? Doubt it... They don't even have proof of delivery of that invoice! How would they hurt me I wonder? Di_Bodi - EP91 n/a Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maerijn Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Honestly you can get better deals from Yahoo auctions and using a freight forwarder who will put a lower item value on the customs invoice to avoid paying duty.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Di_Bodi Posted April 28, 2017 Author Share Posted April 28, 2017 Yahoo auctions you say? Never tried it! Is there any guide here how to set up an account there and what tricks to use? I defo have to look at this! Thanks!! Di_Bodi - EP91 n/a Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Addymk2 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 http://www.biddingninja.comCheck these guys out, I used to use them all the time.You pay funds into your account, which are then used through there search. When you buy a part, it's posted to there chap in Japan and then he forwards it on to you as economically as possible.Cracking customer service. Give them a go next time mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Di_Bodi Posted April 28, 2017 Author Share Posted April 28, 2017 Sounds dodgy at first sight but if tried and used by ye guys I will have a closer look! Good Man, Thanks!!! Di_Bodi Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maerijn Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Buyee and http://fromjapan.co.jp are some good sites Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Addymk2 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Sounds dodgy at first sight but if tried and used by ye guys I will have a closer look!Good Man, Thanks!!!Di_BodiIt does, the guy that runs it can even split a package for you. I.e if you buy a manifold that comes with a knackered turbo attached, he will strip the useless turbo out so you're only paying shipping on the manifold etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gtturbo94 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 ya buying from yahoo auctions is very easy and all done through paypal so you have extra cover. The only pain is that buyee will not lower the worth of the item on the postage forms so whatever you paid in the auction they will state that on the customs forms so you be stung for a tax bill. Marking it as a gift hardly ever works these days but sometimes you can get stuff into the country without paying import tax but it 50-50. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
#TIDGEY Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 To those who have imported before is the tax bill/ Handling price based solely on declared value of item/s?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Addymk2 Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 To those who have imported before is the tax bill/ Handling price based solely on declared value of item/s??Most of the time, however sometimes the package is inspected. If it's marked up as a $5 gift and the items obviously worth more than that they can slap a price on it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Justforfun Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Have never had to pay import taxes and hae bought stuff from all over the world. If you received the item before them letter came then I'd have out it straight into the bin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
