Moo is the business

Moo is damn cool. They print 100 half size business cards on nice satin card using images from your Flickr account for £9.99. The best thing is you can have 100 different images on the cards with your own personalised contact details on the reverse.

*Ahem*, it’s not £10, it’s $20, which means you’ll be stung on import duty when they arrive. Not quite the same thing, really.

That’s below the import duty threshold isn’t it?
At least, of all the music I have imported from the US (from online shops and eBay) I only once had to pay any duty. That was on a 7″ that had been (inaccurately) declared as being worth more than £50. (I’d actually paid £35 for it. From memory the duty was about another £7.)

HMRC is unclear on the thresholds:

You can look up Taric codes here:

The closest I could find was: 4901100000

4901 Printed books, brochures, leaflets and similar printed matter, whether or not in single sheets
- 4901 10 In single sheets, whether or not folded
- 4901 91 Other

They charge in Dollars but they’re acutally based in Clerkenwell :)
