Cool, I hope that’s the way it works. I guess the English government are just greedy, they want you to pay tax if you bring back a beach towel!!

I don’t believe that should affect me as these are not expensive guitars. At least that’s how it’s worked when I have purchased from overseas before. If it’s over $1K then there are taxes. Combined my purchases were under $1K.

I was a happy, happy man until I got back to England and the Customs guys hit me with Import Tax!!! It made the guitar more expensive than if I’d bought it in England…… 🙁 I don’t know if there is a way around it, but if there is, it’s probably illegal……. 😉
