    Hi everyone,
    I just bought a hid torch from China for around €115 and was wondering how much custom will it cost me? Thanks in advance.

    I'd say it would be light enough!

    Vat -26.45 Euros

    Allow 5-15 Euros admin fee depending on your courier company

    Thanks Jarren. Think the carrier is China Post, so don't think there would be any admin fee.:D

    Joking aside, what kind of torch was it for 115 euro?

    Any package that attracts import charges will also incur an An Post handling fee which
    is currently €6 .

    Hopefully it will pass it through .:)

    VAT is charged on the postage costs too.

    If its china post office it'll probably come through an post. They will put a nice "you weren't home when we called" note through your door. You will then need to go to the depot where they will hand over your package after you pay the VAT. The delivery note will make no mention of this, or the amount owed.
