RE: [Paparazzi-devel] Import tax enquiry

[Electro-Technik]

Paul,

 

It is good to hear that there is interest in the Paparazzi project in the UK!

 

I have had received several orders from PPZUAZ, which have all been (accurately) described on the customs label as "model aircraft parts" on which I have not had to pay any import duty etc.   I also concur with Gareth R that PPZUAZ provide very good service, but delivery is frustratingly slow and erratic……..

 

I run a small electronics  company here in the UK, and if I can be of any help with the supply of components / modules / equipment etc. please let me know, initially via email - address@hidden

 

Do you know how big the Paparazzi Project "community" is in the UK?

 

Regards

 

Alan K.

Subject: [Paparazzi-devel] Import tax enquiry

 

Hi all,

 

Just a quick enquiry.

Has anyone in the UK purchased equipment from PPZUAZ in the USA?  If so, were the items you ordered taxable by HM Customs or were the items delivered directly to your door?

 

I'm trying to get all my components in one go but I have a fairly tight budget and after ordering things from the USA in the past I know our government likes to stick a fairly hefty import tax on items sometimes.

Best regards,

Paul
