Anyone bought a pushchair from the us?

[ClairesTravellingCircus]

And was tax horrendous? I have found a BJCM GT double at a reasonable price even when including shipping. But wondering what import tax woild be like?
I live in Italy but imagine UK will be similar..
Thanks

Where you importing to, Italy or UK?
Custom's duty + VAT apply, may get reduced rates for either/both. Country-specific.

I had a blue camo p&t imported from the US before they were released in this country and didn't pay any import tax.

That was about 5 years ago though

I bought a double pushchair from the US, years ago. The import tax was about £30 but even with that, shipping and the actual cost of the pushchair it was still £150 cheaper than the english version. Have to add it took ages to arrive!!

Importing to Italy. I know it will a bit different but just wanted to get an idea. Difficult to find info in italy.

Thanks

If you can get it bought over that helps is there any one you know who might be able to do that for you.

Tax ie vat is high cant remember if you get taxed on pushchairs here as I bought mine on holiday.

I've ordered buggy from nz - it's in uk customs at mo- waiting to find out how much import tax they want to charge me! Will let you know
