Customs query

    Hi, I've just bought a pair of Clarks sandals from an Australian online retailer.
    At a first look they seemed to work out cheaper than from the UK.
    Before shipping the sandals, they did the courtesy of warning me about possible VAT a duty charges. They sent me a link to dutycalculator.com but Pitney Bowes seems to have discontinued the service. I was wondering if anyone can provide a link to an alternative duty calculator or help me calculate if import duty applies for this purchase.

    This also made me realise that we might soon be in the same situation with the UK as a consequence of Brexit, and there's lots of online shopping going on between Ireland and the UK!

    Thanks.

    So I think you are subject to Duty Charges if the purchase is valued over €150 - not sure about VAT!

    Alright, I forgot to mention the price of the sandals.
    It's AUD$59.95 + Shipping AUD$30 total AUD $89.95- toughly €61.

    Is there a way to calculate the custom charges ?
    Thanks.
