I want to buy approx. 15 titles from the U.S.A. What problems might I encounter with customs and with what result ?
Many thanks.
Spazz.

Hi

Alice is wright the will open the package and view one of the CD's plus they will slap a customs charge onto your package as well.
Other than that you should be ok.

Why do you need dvds?

Buy them in one's or two's over a period of a couple of weeks. I very much doubt customs will open them.

If they do they will slap import duty on them.

Whatever happened to 'the customer is always right'? Not all of us
want to crouch arthtitically over our PCs, watching poor-quality
downloads......

The PO handling fee is reaching rapacious proportions- on a recent
order of mine it made up 80% of the total ! C&E aren't interested in
US porn- they tend to seize more on stuff from Holland, etc. All either
mainly want is the VAT.
Avoid this not by small quantites [can be liable to multiple shipping
charges] but if possible by specifying despatch without the plastic
DVD-cases- you can buy these domestically for a few pence.
This drastically reduces the shipping-fee and simultaneously reduces
the size of the package to make it less obviously attractive to inquisitive
Customs/PO fingers.
Use USPS standard services where possible- but in this case don't order
more than you can afford to lose, as this method is untracked and about
1 in 25 goes 'missing' permanently, always at this end and as a result
of postal theft or plain incompetence. Using tracked services such as
FedEx will secure your goods but also ensure they'll be first handed
over to Customs for inspection.

Somebody might take great delight in probing your innards.

Yes, good point- I'm not too sure how sanguine HMCE would now be
about the 'rougher' US acts such as Audrey Hollander's, now that the
'rules' have been changed to affect this so-called violent stuff.
I don't touch this sort of thing so it's rarely if ever an issue.

If you are bringing porn in from another EEC country customs allow 10 dvds for personel use providing its mainstream porn, so i dont see why it should be ant different from the U.S. apart from the fact that duty would be payable !confused!
