so figuring this phone cost around say $800 , then to import it to the uk you would have import duty of around 20 pounds sterling and a 20% vat so you would be looking at it costing an additional 200 compared to the usa.

    and yeah after researching it i am probably very accurate on the assumption of why.

    Data
    • Let’s buy a set of Callaway golf clubs for a price of $ 600.00 (including sales tax)
    • Total Shipping cost is $ 200.00
    • The consignment is insured up to $ 500.00 for $ 10.00
    • Official exchange rate by customs agencies on June 1st, 2009: 1.56 USD to 1 GBP
    • Duty tax rate for golf clubs: 2.70%
    • VAT tax rate in the UK: 20.0%

    Step 6 of 6 - Total calculation of import duty and VAT
    + £ 13.98

        I think I did ok getting the a Regular Z5 and paying £49 for a Sony HDR-AZ1VR. As if I don't like it, I could sell it for more than I paid for it

                      Umbilical Noose, 21 Oct 2015Why not just take back your goodies and reduce the price by the same amount?It'd be nice if Sony (and all tech companies) started charging the same in the UK and europe as they do in America, rather than just swap the currency symbols. Notice how the phone is nearly a thousand dollars when converted, when it's likely three hundred less in US prices.

                      The free stuff in lieu of that's a nice gesture, if a bit hollow.
