    Re: Import Duty to UK

    I got some brogues from Geoffrey in Pakistan and didn't have to pay anything extra.
    I think it really depends on how its sent.

    If that is all you purchased then I would not have expected you to pay import duties. Geoffrey's brogues are $24.95 which is well below the limit required to trigger duty. His buckle brogues are $29.95 which again is below the limit and, even if adding carriage costs in, are borderline depending on the exchange rate that day. Any duty due would have been pennies and likely waived

    Not to the UK. Think I paid about £60/$90.
