:roll: UPDATE............ CDs have not yet arrived, but a letter from Parcel Force informs me that HM Customs and Excise want £421 in duties payable before the CDs are delivered. Needless to say they will be going back to Japan in 20 days. :shock: :evil: :arrow:

£ 421 :!: :!:
How many Cds did you order :?:

The worst customs "hit" i ever got was for £ 28 when I ordered some Dream Theater stuff from the US. I still don't get why we have to pay excess on stuff that's not been bought in the EU. Load of 8ull5sh1t if you ask me.

My thoughts on this. Ron did you try to smuggle a Geisha girl in as well? ;)

I think there was a clerical error somewhere. They were asking £361 VAT on a £60 excise charge. Still, I'm not going to argue with HM Customs. :arrow:
