Imported dresses from USA

ExpensiveOrangeDiamonds115, 25 February, 2014 at 22:58 Posted on Planning 0 3

Hi - Just wondered if any one has imported bridesmaid dresses from American? I have seen the Dessy dresses I like on an American website called Victoria's Bridal couture. At half the UK price but unsure how much duty I will have to pay if they will be ok if/when they arrive?

Any advise greatly received.

    I can't speak from experience but there are import tax calculators online where you put in details regarding what you are buying, how much it is worth and where it is coming from and it will give you an estimate of how much you can expect to pay...

    The carrier also takes a handling fee so generally I estimate 30% in total plus postage which with tracked carrier like UPS is up to $60. However the exchange rate is quite good at the moment. Don't forget US sizing is very different too

    Hi

    Hope I'm not too late with this but I think I can help.

    I got my wedding dress from David's Bridal in America and had it shipped here. Below is the break down of what I paid

    Dress price £350.26

    Duties and taxes £108.78

    Shipping £35.90

    TOTAL £459.91

    I didn't think that was bad at all.

    Hope this helps xxxx
