Did anyone else recive a tax bill?buyer
Aero do not charge UK VAT on jackets delivered outside of the uk. On our site we have UK prices incuding VAT and ROW ( rest of world ) prices excluding .Yes, of course. That’s VAT plus Duty. Payable for any sale or service entering the EU (above threshold).
Nothing to do with Aero (they include UK tax, which they could - theoretically- waive for non-UK order; would involve some work for them, though). Larger sellers offer different prices for UK/Non-UK buyers to mitigate the issue, but that’s up to the seller.
You will have paid ROW ( rest of world ) prices when ordering which excludes UK VAT, The price you paid is 20% less than a UK customer would pay. which means that you are liable for any local import duties. This is beyond Aero's controlI just got an email from the shipping company- DHL stating I have to pay $76 import dut tax.
Question is, should Aero cover it or buyer?
It's worth giving it a try.^^
For that money I'd enjoy a nice trip to Scotland and bring the jacket myself.
Edit - you get hit with VAT then... they get you one way or the other...

In this instance the OP from Brooklyn paid 20% less than a UK customer.
You should be able to get the vat back at the airport though - or probably make a claim online Four its return.It's worth giving it a try.
A trip to Scotland is long overdue so maybe next time.
I think we (Europeans) are the worst off.Americans by comparison pays the lowest import taxes.
Wearing the jacket while crossing the border might do it as well.You should be able to get the vat back at the airport though - or probably make a claim online Four its return.
I find that I can easily spare a few € paying in the seller's currency and letting my bank handle the conversion rate.On top of that there's PayPal currency conversion fees lol.
