CABELAS customs tax?

mike91

Does anyone know how much customs you have to pay when buying from cabelas? Like what will you pay at $100 and so on

As far as I could work out from my last US purchase its the going VAT on the value of the product in Euros, but be warned they will also charge you VAT on the cost of the shipping.

So calculate cost of item + cost of shipping converted to Euro and then add on VAT on to that.

It depends what courier company delivers the stuff you buy. UPS always charged the tax on anything i bought from the usa, but when an post delivered i didn't have to pay anything.

it depends if customs stop it or not. i got hit 20euro on a 75euro package inc postage.

i was able to pre pay the tax when i bought my clay trap from cabelas during the summer.

I think you end up paying more too if you've to pay the delivery service the tax because they pay it for you at customs and have a charge on it.

My VAT charge was post delivery, came through customs and I paid on receipt at the front door.
A lot of stuff is checked by Irish customs, if lads here are not paying VAT its more luck than than fact. There is a euro value threshold which attracts the VAT.

I think its 100 euro, the problem i have is you have to pay tax on the delivery costs too, not just the value of the goods.

whatever final payment is ie 100 euro including delivery (133 dollars) so you pay 23% vat and 6 euro handling fee to an post
so an item that cost you 100 euro will be 129 euro if caught by customs

do cabelas still deliver to Ireland? thought i read on here that they dont send to Eire any more.

mike91

I think im even more confused...... Haha

The vat is nothing to do with cabellas, it can happen from anywhere, if customs stop it you will be hit for vat and you're looking at about 30euro when you answer the door to sign for the parcel. if you dont pay it the delivery company will keep it until you do

Consignments not exceeding an intrinsic value of €150 may be imported from outside the EU without payment of Customs Duty. Intrinsic value is the value of the goods alone and does not include insurance and freight).

Consignments not exceeding a total customs value of €22 may be imported without payment of VAT. (Customs value is the value of the goods plus insurance and freight (which includes postage costs (CIF value).

Where the Customs Duty on a consignment of goods amounts to less than €10 it will not be collected. Similarly, VAT liability amounting to less than or equal to €6 will not be collected. No similar rule applies in the case of Excise Duty which will always be collected on products liable to it.

So you will only pay VAT on anything up to the price of €150? And customs and VAT after that?

Still deliver and have no problem with it either...Get them to send USPS if possible.
You are proably thinking of Brownells. They will still deliver certain items here.

Yes that is my experience plus you also pay €13 administation fee (that what it was a year ago)

Fees .....V.A.T. or VAT & Custom Duty are calculated on the amount you paid the seller...it included the postage costs.

If you buy something for €100 and shipping is €20 then VAT is calculated on €120 plus an admin. fee of €13.

Some lads are saying they get things in without paying VAT / Duty......one of the few very lucky ones.

I've a friend in the parcel section of the postal services and they quickly realised how much stuff was coming from abroad having being bought on-line.

Ive ordered a good bit from the US and Ive never been charged anything. So if you were to buy some clothing or boots or something from Cabelas and the total comes to about €150 , do you have to pay the post man the VAT and charges or is there a way to pay it online when it arrives

In my case I bought a scope on-line, about 3 years ago.

Came home one day to find An Post note in letterbox stating scope had arrived but VAT & administration due on it. I went to the local sorting office (address was on note) and paid the fees due. They then handed over the parcel.
