Maybe correct but you have nothing to loose by sending an email, there may even be an element of goodwill on their part. |

Hmnn! Having read this sorry saga I have just ordered an SW Motech footpeg kit from Sportsbikeshop in the UK. They were offering a modest discount from list and they were cheaper than from the manufacturers direct even before shipping and any import duties. Would seem like a good time to buy such add-ons while existing stocks last. It will only cost more later. I wonder what it will do to the cost of a new RS? I thought trade with the EEC was supposed to be tariff free? 19 Plate R1250RS Exclusive with "bells & whistles" & full colour matched luggage |

Zitat von PlacidoD im Beitrag #22 I never said that, I said your country voted for it. As a resident of France with an RAF pension I have more to lose than most but, despite being a UK taxpayer, I was not allowed to vote.

Zitat von Wayfarer im Beitrag #18 No it was a French address Europe Moto who are apparently not the seller but a partner dealer, but it is all branded as BMW Motorrad. The website says "prices are indicated in Euros (all taxes included) excluding delivery costs", which are added separately. I am guessing they will argue that taxes are not be deemed to include import duty but it burns that there was no reference to this and I appear to be stuck with the additional cost. |

Zitat von Gunns10 im Beitrag #24Zitat von Wayfarer im Beitrag #18 I think you have unrealistic expectations of this trader. You state you ordered before Xmas. The trade deal was not agreed until very close to Xmas so expecting a trader in France to be up to speed with the new regulations is unfair on them. Just look at the current chaos at the ports: major retailers are not getting the paperwork right and having trucks turned back. DPD have suspended shipments until they have more clarity on what they have to do. It is a mess and the fault lies our side of the Channel. |

Zitat von PlacidoD im Beitrag #22 VAT is not a tariff, it's an import duty. Also not tariffs are the inevitable prices rises to come associated with the increased administrative burdens placed imports. Zitat von PlacidoD im Beitrag #22 To be fair, no one voting in 2016 knew what they were voting for in any specific sense; the manner in which we should leave was not specified. Those that voted in the 2019 election to install the current administration, however, knew *exactly* what they were voting for. It was plain to see what kind of terms we might best hope for under this administration based on their stated aims for trade terms with the EU, and it wasn't rocket science to see how VAT and rules of origin conditions would factor in to this. It's practically criminal that this outcome should have been effectively decided on 43% of the vote, but that's our electoral system, and that's how it lets governments with a minority of the electorate behind them do whatever they choose. I've all but given up hope of an English government ever growing up and progressing to something resembling an actual democratic system, but who knows...

Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #25Zitat von Gunns10 im Beitrag #24Zitat von Wayfarer im Beitrag #18 I don't expect the trader to be up to speed with all regulations - nobody knows what's going to unravel in the coming months - but having paid for the panniers including taxes and shipping I was surprised to be hit with an additional £138. I am inclined to tell DHL to send them back but god know what costs will arise from that; the price of the return would certainly be down to me |

Reckon it’s still worth an email explaining the situation, they maybe able to help, depending on French tax law, especially as you have nothing to loose, as the transaction took place whilst we were still in the EU, then perhaps you are covered by the 14 day cooling off period which I think were originally eu regs, hopefully someone on here is not biased one way or the other will be able to advise. |
