Re: Getting furniture from Pakistan…
CB please let me know the process also. How and where to book the container from and what is the whole process. I want something from there. A jhoola is on my list. a sofa set.
The duty that you have to pay in England is totally dependent on the amount of furniture you bring. You might wanna give Customs a call and find out if you know the quantity of the furniture you plan to bring.
also dont tell them at all that its new furniture. Because then they will charge you business duty rates .. you are allowed to bring in your own used furniture at minimal duty rates ..
We are still trying to get some furniture over .. problem is we only have half a container and we are still looking for someone who can share the container with us to make it a full container , as full container is not only cheaper but also doesnt get opened as much at the ports , hence reduces the breakage risk.
Can I ask please, is it London port that you plan to bring your furniture to?
