I have Fedex asking for 272 GBP, for a product that cost 960 USD including shipping this seems outrageous.

The clearance tam have calculated £272.03 for duty and VAT. This is based on the value provided by the sender on the paperwork which was 899usd, which they have converted to £681.88. The charge consists of £98.25 duty ( which is a set percentage for the type of item coming in) VAT of £161.78 (which is 20% of the value of the goods plus the freight charges) and a £12 admin fee ( always £12 or 2.5% whichever is the greater)
Looks like I am shi* out of luck and just bad at maths

You pay duty? In the EU VR-headsets are duty-free, only VAT gets charged. I thought you guys took the ruleset with you to ease transition. Jesus Christ.
You are quite right, there should be no duties charge.

Which pulls your figure in line with what others have paid.
It does seem a bit random, your purchase value was more than mine but I’m being asked for more??
Can I ask what HS code did you use and which website is that info from?
Sorry just seen the HS code in the screenshot. Is that the correct code?
Yes. [20 characters]
which website is that info from?
HMRC put all the data online, have you never read into it? They even have a tool to help you find the correct commodity code.
no never had the need.
Thanks
