The 20% VATis already in the upgrade price not an add on like duty or sales tax.
Please make sure you ship directly to Devialet and not to the dealer in England
as i have had confirmation that Devialet pay all the incoming duty and taxes, if the D250
is shipped to the dealer and then to you, you will be liable for the duty and taxes when it enters Hong Kong.
A copy of an Email I got from Devialet today.
Hi Brian,
Sorry for the delayed response,
As per Deivalet, customers will pay VAT on the website and then Devialet Inc or Devialet SA pays the D&T while crossing the borders.
I hope this answers your questions,
In Hong Kong, there has no any tax on goods, also the dealer in UK were quoted a price with VAT(within Europe) or without VAT price, and since my shipping address is Hong Kong, therefore, no VAT were charged to me. Those update price listed in Devialet eg. euro 3490 is with VAT, for people outside europe, which means they are charging 3490 /1.2 = 2908 for upgrade cost. However, you may have to pay the import tax in your country. The above is in condition on my case, which i ordered the upgrade thru my UK dealer.
