TAX on goods from UK

This was my friends reply today regarding the amount she paid on goods delivered from Next, Think the goods totalled around 128 quid and the charge was something like 32 euros Can't remember exactly.


Happy to tell anyone who uses next if you call the international line and then email the details across they will indeed refund any customs charges made I have just received confirmation that the charges will be in my bank here next week, NOT a problem ......so good luck everyone it’s worthwhile !

That would equate to a 25% tariff being applied.

This BBC article just about covers the chaos that is currently playing out:

Surely Expats didn't think that they would escape Brexit teething problems and negative fall out, did they ?

Exactly!!! Whoever thought that leaving the E.U. would be a doddle needs their heads looking at.

Thanks for this information Chrisdee. I've just placed an order with Next this morning. I'll have to see what transpires.

That’s great Chris hopefully I will be able to get a refund from my order.

TonTri. I always use Next Spain. Delivery is very quick and you wouldn’t have to pay any extra.

Could be just an excuse to RAISE prices and then blame it on brexit

Ah ok. My order is with Next Spain so maybe I won't have any problems. I just assumed all orders came from the UK.
