Buying a pushchair from USA, any other charges?

Have found a great deal on a Baby Jogger City Mini, works out £89 for the pushchair, £30 for postage, and £25 roughly custom charges from US. Am ready to hit the pay button but am worried about any other charges once buggy gets to UK? Can anyone advise?

Try asking seller if they know of any? Sounds like if any customs charges are factored in you should be ok but I am no expert.

Yes it does show custom charges in total fees to be paid, but will check with the seller.

They add VAT on AFTER customs duty. but it should be at a baby carriage rate which might only be a few %, do your research.

See this.

and what if it is not as described or damaged in transit - the costs to return at your expense could be very high.
