A relative of mine wants to send a laptop (Asus Eee PC 2G Surf – Intel Mobile CPU, 802.11b/g Wireless, 512MB DDR2, 2GB SSD, 7? WVGA, Linux) to a friend in the UK (I believe the town is East Bolden). I have been trying to help my relative by researching VAT, duty, etc, and am hopelessly confused. How do I find out what all the fees will be?
