Vag-Com owners

[dafydd]

Hi there, just received my vag-com the other day, but today i received a letter from FedEx saying that they have payed the customs the sum of £53.00 and that i now need to pay them this amount, Can any one who has bought Vag-Com tell me if they had to do this, or is it a scam by the company

Thanks

Where did you buy it from?

Possession is nine-tenths of the law!!!!!!!!!

LOL, if i could, i would tell em to get lost, i just think its abit strange to tell me now that i owe them £53.00, and not when it was delivered, i bought the vag-com interface from Ross-Tech in America

Honestly, I dont know anything abt fed-ex policies.

Although it is strange to come back looking for money after the product was sold/signed over to you...

If you bought it from the USA this is completely normal and is the law IF it gets picked up by Her Majesty’s Customs and Excise. Basically it is import duty and VAT.

yeh, i bought it from their web site, but i suppose ill be able to claw that back over time. Many thanks for all the replies

Oh yeah, you're right there! It's very useful. I think the HMRC rules are that anything with a declared value of over £18 will attract import duty and VAT.
