Imported dresses from USA

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...

Hope that helps ;-)

Edit: Hello and welcome to hitched ?

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

People are increasingly importing bridesmaid dresses from the US, especially brands like Dessy, since prices are often much lower even after shipping and customs duty. It’s also interesting how these international bridal stores depend heavily on digital marketing to reach overseas buyers, and that’s where SZR advertising options can play a role in improving online visibility and targeting the right audience.

Hello, people do import bridesmaid dresses from the US and Dessy is a trusted brand, but you’ll need to factor in UK import costs. You’ll usually pay around 20% VAT plus possible customs duty and a courier handling fee, so in total it often adds roughly 20–30% onto the price. It can still eplfeedback work out cheaper than UK prices, but it’s worth checking if the site includes duties at checkout and being careful with sizing and returns before ordering.
