Re: [Digital BW] OEM Ink Pricing & Econ 101

2002-05-25 by Bob Frost

Simon,

Lyson is a UK company based in Stockport, Cheshire. Their Lyson inks are
mainly marketed through Marrut (Marrut.co.uk). So no problems with delivery
or duty etc.

MIS will send you inks, fairly quickly in my limited experience, but whether
you get charged VAT and import duty on items purchased in the USA seems to
depend on the total cost of the package (which has to be declared by the
supplier on the package). A \ufffd40 set of cartridges seems to escape duty, but
if you purchase several hundred pounds worth of stuff from the States, UPS
or Fedex will later send you a bill for about 25% of the cost (as I've just
found out!). I haven't found a UK distributor for MIS inks yet - anyone know
if there is one?
