Just placed an order, looking forward to reading it!

Same here, looking forward to hold it in my hands.

Excellent! I will order two copies, but I'm going to ask my Mum to order it as in the process of moving house and don't know where I will be when it's shipped! Any idea what the import duty may be outside the EU (e.g. shipping to UK)?

Great to see a new catfish book.

Cheers,

Jools

Hi Jools,

When I ordered it, I noticed the delivery was 16.50 EUR, up from 3 or 4 EUR before I put in my address, and was labelled as "Tax-exempt export delivery", I'm hopeful that means as VAT isn't charged on books there shouldn't be anything else to pay.

As I understand it for goods under the value of £135, VAT should/is assumed to have been collected at the point of sale, and there shouldn't be anything else to pay, although I have been caught out when buying records from the EU, having to pay a few pounds VAT, then the £8 Royal Mail 'handling fee' on top. That was a while ago and hopefully it works more smoothly now.

Taken from the Royal Mail site:

"VAT will be applied depending on the type and value of the goods. VAT on items under £135 (with the exception of gifts) will now be collected directly at the point of sale. "

The price includes 7% German VAT.

The postage is a separate charge and obviously each country may have its own duties at the border.

Thanks Steve, when mine arrives I'll report back what happened. Although it seems some things get through and some don't regardless of what should or shouldn't be charged!
