ellaw guys, quick question:
My Friend thrifted a 80% cashmere and 20% silk Tom Ford jacket for an awesome $500, it is used but in BNWOT condition, he bought it from the UK and the seller was in NY; he already payed almost 30GBP shipping, would customs be anal about this and ask him to pay duty tax/VAT? Even though it has no tags on it?
Seller (on the page of the auction) has written only this regarding VAT;
Estimated VAT
Seller charges VAT for items dispatched to: NY (8.835%).
Nothing about UK, or UK customs.
Please lemme know guys I am sure there a couple of professional thrifters out there who can help!!
