Hi, new member however I have been lurking for quite some time reading up on stuff.
I am pushing towards a Joovv Max Combo device due to angle and somewhat build quality. Looking at a full body solution so that I don't have to spend too much time covering the body. I would imagine with the Joovv Max I would only need 2 sessions, back and front as the sides should get some of the light due to 90 degrees.
Obvious choices are Joovv and RedLightMan. Would love the RedLightMan but really do want a full body solution.
Anyhow, my question is around the import taxes for the Joovv, has anyone had them shipped over to the UK? How long does it usually take, any idea how much the tax is (if you had it shipped would you be able to give out the export tax code used?), also in case of warranty do you know if we have to ship it over to the US at our own cost?
I did actually ask Joovv but the code they use doesn't quite match the HMRC codes, one was LEDS Devices the other Lamps of 300mm to 600mm. Both codes are open to interpretation as the codes don't match what we have here. The LEDs starts from 0% tax with the lamps going to %5+
HS FOR LED LIGHTS 8541.10.00.90
HS CODE 9405.40
From my experience, when you let the Government interpret something without making it easy for them, they will always mess it up.
