    Can I hold back rent due to issues?

    My wife rents a room in a small village where she is a Chiropodist. The landlord also owns the flat upstairs.

    Felixstowe Train Derailment - Dm Charge Received

    Whoever delivered the container, whether it be the shipping line or a merchant haulier, is responsible for getting the empty container back in time. Yes the derailment was an unusual circumstance but they could have returned it via road rather than rail, or asked for another restitution point.

    Demurrage Charges due to Customs Error

    Wow, that is a lot of money. Unfortunately Border Force would take no responsibility for any delay, although that does seem a very long time for an examination to take place. What reason did they give for the delay? The problem you have is if you don't pay, the freight company you are dealing...

    Importing from china, do I need to be a registered business?

    If they are for your personal use you won't need an EORI, however if they are for business use you will. EORI application procedure is quick and easy (and free). However if not VAT registered you will not be able to reclaim any import VAT paid.

    Using PVA with UPS

    Unfortunately courier companies (not just UPS) are not exactly known for accuracy when it comes down to customs declarations. They should not change a deferment fee if their is no Duty and VAT under PVA.

    Pallet Delivery to The Netherlands

    You could try [email protected] for a comparison quote. £1000 sounds very expensive to me.

    Working out landed costs when importing a container of mixed products

    They would use the actual freight cost invoiced, rather than going by the weight/cube.

    Taking printers to the EU

    Yes I would agree that ATA carnet, albeit somewhat costly would be the best route here. You can contact your local chamber of commerce to get one raised for the minimum period possible (3 months I believe). Expect to pay around £500 including guarantee premium. You just need to ensure it is...
