[QUOTE="thejewk, post: 5199882, member: 100136"]Like Pishpash said, anything over $15 I think. From my understanding, ancient coins from the US are hit with a 5% VAT and a processing fee from Royal Mail. I would expect that to be what is charged for coins from the EU shortly. The thing that concerns me slightly is not the charges, but the fact that so many more things are going to be going through customs. I have a coin from the US which left America last Monday, and they weren't competent enough to scan it on arrival, so now I'm sitting in the dark about what's going on with it. It makes me a little nervous considering the fact that, as far as I can tell, it's one of only a few in existence. If it's like this now, what will it be like next month when the volume going through customs is multiplied massively? With regards to declaring value, I think the only solution is to do everything exactly as it should be done, so that if something goes wrong you aren't stuck being unable to make an insurance claim.[/QUOTE]
