Re: Brexit.part import
That doesn't seem correct. If Minispares are charging exports net of VAT than you have to pay Irish VAT @21% on your purchase. What they have shown may only be the Duty on imports, minimum €14.50 or 2.5%. You add duty to the purchase price and than add 21% vat. I think.

Re: Brexit.part import
Have just placed a small parts order, ~ €70 worth so we'll see what extra charges are added by DHL...

Re: Brexit.part import
I ordered parts worth about STG£100 a few weeks ago. I got a text from DPD UK saying that I owed €30 which included a €6.50 brokerage charge. This had to be paid (by paypal) before they would ship the parts to Ireland. With no Parcelmotel for the time being, we better get used to it.

Re: Brexit.part import
Got email from DHL asking for payment to proceed with delivery.
€15.66 VAT + €5 "Payment Deferment Risk" so €20.66 in total.
Parts + Shipping came to £62.45, pre brexit this would have been £75.56 with vat @ 21%, then at £1=€1.14 rate, that is €86.17
Parts + Shipping £62.45, at £1=€1.14 rate, €71.22, plus €20.66 for VAT and DHL "fee", comes to €91.88
Total cost difference + €5.71
So not too bad for this small order, but I guess if I had to order all my panels this month, I would have been looking at much higher amount for the DHL fee.

Re: Brexit.part import
Over €150 and duty could start to apply to the parts depending on where they are manufactured under the rules of origin. No vat charged in the UK so you have to pay it here on the goods now. A small order would be ok like Colin says but a big order could have hefty charges.

Re: Brexit.part import
If you look at the Government ie website for import duty charges on goods over 150 euro, they can be a little eye watering.
Additionally, different items attract different VAT rates

Re: Brexit.part import
Hi all, apologies if this is a stupid question but I’m a newbie when it comes to importing parts / accessories.
I believe that there is no import charge for car parts from the UK. Does anyone know if that includes alloy wheels? I have my eye on 4.5" x 10" Cooper S Replicas (link below) but I’m wary of additional charges on top of the VAT. I’d appreciate some guidance.

Re: Brexit.part import
If the wheel and tyre are manufactured in the UK there should be no duty and the retailer needs to specify this on the import documents. If any of the items are imported into the UK and than exported there is Duty. You need to ask Minisport.

Re: Brexit.part import
Contact Minispares.
Last month I ordered items from screwfix.ie. Turned out they had to come from the UK. They were held in UK customs from some unknown reason and one month later (this week), I demanded and got a full refund. Moral of story: push Minispares to sort problem or get a refund.

Re: Brexit.part import
There was some leeway being given on paperwork but now has to be 100% or the goods are being stopped or even returned.

Re: Brexit.part import
Quick update on this, got a payment request from DHL
VAT - €69.68
Customs Duty - €5.83
Payment Deferment Risk - €14.50
CS Charges - Multiline Clearance - €25
So in total an extra €115!
Parts came to £280 (€330) including shipping, ex vat
€330 + €115 vat/fees = €445
If I had to order and deliver to N. Ireland total would have been €381, saving €64!
So much for the savings I made ordering on the black Friday sale![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)

Re: Brexit.part import
I assume the €330 included a delivery charge that Minispares pay a courier to deliver the goods to you so why is the Multiline Clearance not included in that.
What is Payment Deferment Risk and who is that being paid to?

Re: Brexit.part import
Yes, that included the shipping charge of £18 from minispares.
I have just popped off an email to minispares to see if the can shed any light on the multiline clearance fee.
I have paid the extra for this order, so at least I can get the parts into my shed and hopefully get the engine and gearbox reassembled over Christmas!

Re: Brexit.part import
Got a generic reply from minispares regarding this that they don't have any involvement or influence in setting these import costs.
I see on P&L minis shop, you can now pay the vat at point of sale for a streamlined parcel delivery

Re: Brexit.part import
FYI - My folks were in the UK all last week to spend Christmas with my younger brother and his family. I managed to get a decent list of parts shipped from Minispares which they brought back last night via the ferry. My dad did open the parcel and dispersed the parts throughout the car prior to travelling home. Customs inspected the boot, so I think if there was a decent size parcel visible it might have raised questions.

The sooner the little car company in Holland updates its website the better. I wont be ordering anything from the UK. Got caught for €32 customs on a £60 panel last week after paying £25 postage too. Not worth it.
