I'm not just talking about the Nexus One here, I frequent a car owners club forum where parts are very often sort from Japan/US from companies who do things legally and getting away without paying VAT.

It does happen, maybe not often, but it does.

I've never seen that happen when the customs code was correct unless it was manually mis-entered. I guess if parts are sent without pre-clearing it could happen. Its just human error rather than them 'missing' the package. The chance of it happening on the N1 is close to zero 0.

It's a delight when it comes isn't it? Especially when you know what it is even before opening the package.

Yeah, such a joy. My company was going to pay it, they had it open and it was with finance but I said that I better pay it just in case!!

Almost a full month for me. Just a couple of days short of it. I think you'll have it tomorrow or Monday at the latest.

My says a custom entry date of 14/01/10 then an invoice date of 26/01/10. I got the bill on Tuesday 09/02/10. So you can work it out roughly from that.

'course, you could always buy 5+ @ $285 (2-8-5 US Dollars) each, sell 4 (say profit $100USD each - so one free N1 @ $115 extra) and possibly not get DHL's VAT bill...
