Digital BW, The Print

If you get charged at all, you will be charged 17.5% VAT plus a Parcel Post
handling fee which, if I recall correctly, is £12.50.  The handling fee only
applies if tax is levied.  Often it is not and MIS are cognizant of the
process....and it works well.  Just don't use the cheapest delivery option.
It will most likely get lost as the USPS is completely useless compared to
Royal Mail.  Go one notch up.  Again MIS are aware of the issues and can
advise you.
