Lots Imported from Outside the EU
There has been considerable confusion over the recent introduction of the 2.5% import VAT on items brought in
for sale from countries outside the EU and how it affects buyers within the EU. Such items are shown in the
catalogue with a small ‘x’ beside the lot luimber. Rule number one - do not be put off ! The difference in the price
you pay is minimal. The hammer price is stdijcct to 2.5% Import VAT but the Buyers Premium is also sidsject to the
reduced rate of 2.5‘/'<) which will be shown as an inclusive figure with the premium. An imported lot therefore costs
an EU buyer an extra 0.25%, or, on a £5000 lot, an extra £12.50. Buyers from outside the EU obviously do not
have to pay the Import VA T so long as the item is re-exported.
