So that'll be a private label Ego then,not a Planet Edition.
Have you compared prices of Ego's over there to see if you are getting a good deal...:rolleyes:

We have decided to leave the package where it belongs, in Yankdonia, We will play a few tourneys and maybe a few walk-ons as pick-up games(scouting for talent:rolleyes:) and we shall see what happens:D

Thank you for all of your advice:cool:

It looks like you have made your mind up but a few years ago i was playing for a team in Germany and we got a team deal on about 9 or ten Nyx Trixes from the states, and they got round it the massive tax bill by having them marked up as sporting goods for the import guys and we ended up paying much less tax and they are actually sporting goods so no Fibs there.

May be of no use as it was Germany and a good few years ago but it may be an avenue worth looking down.

Just my 2p hope it helps.

if you know what you are doing you can get them marked with a vaguely related tax code that is cheaper - there are different levels of import duty to pay on different categories of goods.

regardless of how low you get the import duty you will still have 15% VAT to add, then your importers "handling fee".

the easiest way to import stuff is in your hold baggage - just remove any packaging that might make it look brand new......that way you claim you've had it all along - it went out and is now coming back.

I'm sure there is a way to avoid the tax, i bought some stuff of ebay.com and an american site about 7months ago, both items arrived and i never had to pay any tax.
