My ‘Brexit bonus’ proved to be a customs duty bill from DHL
Whether picture frames or trainers, buyers are counting the cost of ordering from the EU
My daughter purchased some prints and frames online from Sweden on 30 December. The cost (including VAT) was £71.74 with “free delivery”, which she paid. She has now been told by DHL there is an “import duty” due of £25.34 – more than a third of the original price. Is this what the government means by a “Brexit bonus”?
