VAT and Import duty 10 Years, 10 Months ago

Karma: 0

Having quite cheerfully imported CD's from Japan for a number of years I got a VAT and a Parcel Force handling fee on my last import.
I understand that VAT is payable on all goods and I'm OK to pay whats due, however I do resent the handling charges by a company that I did not request. It seems that from talking to a very nice man in VAT that we are saddled with PF and have to pay the subsequent fee, which is twice as much as the VAT. Anybody have the answer?

Elvis Presley (Presley, Elvis) BVCM-37083 : 2000-01-08 This is the eponymous first album from Elvis Presley. It is the first rock & roll album to reach number one on the national charts (holding at number 1 for 20 weeks) and the first million dollar selling pop album. more images and details...	POCP Target Obi Series (Who (The)) POCP-9194 to POCP-9208 & 9212/3 : 1999-09-29 The first edition of the first series of mini LPs for the Who (target obis) came with inserts that were pre-punched. A binder and T-Shirt accompanied the release. It is not clear how these were obtained but it seems likely that the small yellow coupon on the obi would have been snipped off and the folder at least was awarded on surrendering the full set of coupons. more images and details...

Caroline Records 2009 US Releases (Various Artists) Caroline-2008 : 2008-08-05 In late 2008 Caroline Records in the USA released a number of albums by the following artists: UFO, Jethro Tull, Quicksilver Messenger, Brian Eno, Roxy Music, The Raspberries, Kate Bush, Blondie, The Band, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Van Der Graaf Generator (full list below). Unlike the suspect Universal releases these are 100% Japanese. The only difference between these and the Japanese (apart from being as much as 50% cheaper) is a sticker on the bar code of the obi. As at March 2009 most of these are still available at Amazon. more images and details...
