[Mg-mmm] custom duty on vintage car parts

[Gary Krukoski]

Hi Dan
For some reason when I have used UPS or FedEx Air we end up with paying duty here and items sent to the UK. With the post office we have not payed as offer on items shipped or received. I'm not sure why this is.

Happy New Year to all !!
I have a quick question... Every once in a while when receiving car parts from
the UK I get a tariff(customs) bill for the shipper.  It's always with UPS
never any other shipping service.  I was under the impression that antique and
vintage car parts were not subject duty.  I usually just pay it but as a
matter of principal, is this correct.  If not, can I get  a link to prove to
them that they are incorrect.
Thanks,
Dan
