Struggling to find an answer, although I will persevere - however, someone on here may know the quick answer.
I'm importing from China and want everything to be above board.
Some things will get picked up at customs, some won't. What's the procedure for accounting for/paying duty on goods that get missed?
Or is it a case of 'getting lucky' - although I doubt that is the case?
If you're talking about shipping, then if it's all declared properly on invoices it won't get missed. It'll all go through properly at the correct rate of duty + vat and you'll pay a handling fee to the delivery company, usually before delivery.
The only way it'll get missed is if it comes through un declared (ie samples/no value etc) and it's not opened in which case you won't get any bill for it.
Fedex have delivered a couple of personal things to me and sent a bill for duty a few weeks later, but i'm not sure if this is commonplace, and it may well have been because I also have an account with them at the same address.
