Thinking of getting a Mizuno Tour Bag, one of the Japanese MP ones.

anyone bought anything from japan and and had it shipped?

do you have to play import tax on top?

some listed on the bay, but always dubious of getting stuff off there
 
I bought a couple of watches from Japan and got stung big time on tax.....IMO, don't do it unless the savings are huge.

The bags are more expensive that the standard Tour bag sold here, they just have more options color wise and style, fancied something a bit different really.
 
Bring in anything from outside the Eu and the chances are you will pay duty and VAT. Do your homework before pressing the button as the extra costs can hit hard. Freight from Japan must be tasty as air freight works on volume, weight or actual, and golf bags are pretty sizeable. If you know all the costs up front then at least you have all of the facts.
 
I bought a set of clubs from the far east, paid an additional £15 duty to DHL,


They arrived the next day :eek: 24 hrs after ordering
