    I had my MoH's dress from China and had to pay about £15 tax. It depends on what the value of the dress is, so it would be more for a wedding dress, obv. x

    The last one i got arrived and no tax to pay, as the sender put on the front that the value was only $50

    *mine was insured though, so that's what probably put it up as I bought it there and then got it sent over...so it will be different depending on circumstances x

    i work in logistics so have to deal with customs a lot. it does not matter what price the dress is worth or you paid etc, customs will charge what they want to and there is nothing that you can do about it.

    You wont know either until your dress arrives in this country xx

    it really does depend on customs and if they are in a good mood or not. at work i can send an order out and there will be no charge and the next week i send the exact same order to the same address and there will be a customs charge! its madness!
