I got the Beast Wars book through HLJ but the shipping was so much higher than I remember that it's put me off using them for now. I'll hang on and see if it can be got through Amazon JP.

The BW Generations book still eludes me but this one will not!

I haven't bought from overseas in years. How much would shipping and duties likely be for this from HLJ?

No duties, books are VAT free.

Shouldn't be any customs, it's a book. Shipping is harder to say thanks to the shifting pound For BW Generations Merchandise Total: ¥3,980 Shipping Charge: ¥1,780 Total: ¥5,760 According to Paypal Payment ¥3,980 JPY Charge will appear on your credit card statement as "PAYPAL *HOBBYLINK" Payment sent to trouble@hlj.com Funding sources used (total) £30.02 GBP
Payment ¥1,780 JPY Charge will appear on your credit card statement as "PAYPAL *HOBBYLINK" Payment sent to trouble@hlj.com Funding sources used (total) £13.43 GBP
Exchange rate: 1 GBP = 132.589 JPY So prob about £12-£13 pounds

I have had CUTA on books before!

Shouldn't have done. Possible the parcel was labelled wrong?

Nope. Books from HLJ correctly labelled have incurred CUTA in the past.

You should have been able to claim back the VAT charge, but would have difficulty getting the fee back depending on the carrier. Claiming back the VAT charge would also depend on the specific wording of the item description on the customs form.

Indeed. Such a hassle I didn't bother. I haven't the energy and time to fight CUTA.

After sorting the stop on my card, caused by trying to use it at amazon.co.jp, I've now been charged for this :-)

Copy en route, which I didn't remember ordering until HLJ sent me a 'you have paid' email. Yikes, hadn't budgeted for it but it will (almost) make up for missing out on the Beast Generations book.

It's arrived! A day ahead of what I thought was an optimistic schedule!
No time for anything but a cursory glance. Look forward to a translation of the comic at the end, not often you see bat Primal / croc Megatron in action.
