Could she strap some lengths of code 75 and some fishplates to her on the next trip JHB?

Fair play all the hard work paid off, I'd say the Southern lads still voted for Hornby though ;)... hint hint..

A ship from the Dutch Navy, A fine sight but being a logistics support ship pretty dull. Thankfully they left the egg beaters outside.

Karel Willem Frederik Marie Doorman (23 April 1889 – 28 February 1942) was a Dutch naval officer who during World War II commanded remnants of the short-lived American-British-Dutch-Australian Command naval strike forces in the Battle of the Java Sea. He was killed in action when his flagship HNLMS De Ruyter was torpedoed during the battle, having chosen to go down with the ship.

Is it DHL or DHL Express? 

You should see the shite I have to deal with from DHL.....Christ...

You Never know look at the GT3, Now in BR Blue! An NSE might not be far away!

Looks to have fab specs. Close on 500 euros for a Sound equipped one. I think I won't be getting this TBH. 

Save up for a Windsurfing board instead.

not Those!

KR banging these out! Thankfully something down south!

4DD EMU (krmodels.co.uk)

 "feck ton"  - See that is an official Irish Measurement Value backed up by ISO! 

Mmmmmm Beamish....

Looks like RMWEB crashed after this was announced!! Still down too.

This is taking a lifetime length to get going. Took a break from the ship to bash in the remaining 6 point motors. Cobalt digital , Handy enough to stick in took a while to wire up and program each one before screwing them into the boards.

Now I have my 3 storage roads which is not near enough for the amount of junk I have. I have 7 Trains in there at the moment but I can fit another 2-bil and a hastings unit behind the Class 6.  I need to look at the seperate sections now next and add some copper PCB and cut the track across he basboard joints, I am not relishing the testing after that as I can see all sorts of trouble...

if its the cadena son says it will be in his yard about 415pm to clear customs roughly

The Cadena is not ever reported to customs yet, Last arrival was 25th into Dublin.

Cadena 3 is Still at sea and underway when I  just checked plus the arrival is not even reported yet by revenue. Last arrived on the 25th

Crikey ordered a A Class sound Chip yesterday and it arrived today! Some Service!

I could never understand why some Manufacturers stick in pipe, boards etc and not actually inform you where they go!! I have not added anything to mine yet.

Thats the blessing of the Firestick, No Ads! and you can skip the promo crap. I have not watched actual Aerial type TV for ages now.

I quite like the Nature programs on the Beeb. RTE Efforts are pretty lame

tks for the Reminder, Had a gig Cancelled in Vicar Street  for that night now so will be able to pop do n.

George, 

 

When you look up the EU website for TARIC codes they clearly show an 8 digit number such 95030030. There is no mention of 10 digits for imports. What are the two additional digits and where should they be placed?

A bit more research and I found out the answers. See subsequent post.

Cheers Tim, Dealing with Customs and clearances is what I do to pay for these toy Train toy things!

Sick of the sh1t now to be Honest, Mistakes and issues right across the board every day to deal with from all the major players,

Computers have made this a lot harder TBH

If it's anything like the large sorting offices here you won't get past the gate.

I needed to pick something up in the Cork one when that was open and  they did have a visitors area. With covid maybe not now. 

Oh and one more thing FED EX / TNT are now getting their stuff done in Philippines. I have massive issues trying to get customs entries corrected. I wonder have An Post Contracted this out also.

Recent e-mail from my NZ Post account manager indicates that An Post require a 10 digit TARIC code to clear an Item through Irish Customs, although the EU TARIC look up site shows an 8 digit code

The example is a  kit that An Post claim was rejected as a result of issues with the electronic customs declaration.

 

"Hi John,

 

We've had feedback on advice for Ireland bound shipments going forward. Please see this below. 

 1. Descriptions to have spaces between words. '/' is not an ideal word separator.

 

 

 

 2. The tariff item to be entered is the 10-digit taric code for EU destined items.

 

For example, 95030030 could be 9503003000 however, to be clear, this is not being provided as tariff advice, it is an example. It is the sender's responsibility for providing the correct taric information.

 

It might be worth raising the issue on an RTE consumer affairs problem especially as its coming up to Christmas. A phone call or programme on gifts from family in the UK and children's toys being delayed because of An Post bureaucracy is certain to stir public interest. 

 

FYI The T/C is 8 digits for exports from EU and 10 for imports.

The Slash is obviously an issue with an optical reader or data transfer for that. Tis a real pain for sure

BTW I thought I got a clean getaway with a package from FED EX last month, Came home to a letter telling me I owe then 14 notes for the vat and clearance.

Customs clearance€5.00

Disbursement fee €8.23

Plus a 1.15 Vat Fee

So not too much of a rip of price I had feared but never the less it cost me 6 notes extra for this delivery now.

Christ the EU have done us Zero favours here on this one for sure.

Think Seán needs to take a course on how to deal with the public

"as long as the item is sent with the correct customs information there would be no issues with the item coming in"

sorry but this is the senders issue, The information needed was not supplied. What are they supposed to do make up the Taric codes on import? sorry that is just not done and there is where the issue was.

Daft that it cant be resolved here while IM is dealing with them though.

Also for any one that has a Magazine subscription from the UK a lad has told me An post are looking to collect about a fiver for the pleasure of customs clearing these.

Agreed but the problem is that Marks don't have the stuff that people need.

I have two packages of DCCconcepts stuff stuck in customs at the moment, none of which Marks even advertise let alone have in stock.

As I said before, Big opportunity for the Irish shops here but they are a bit stuck in a rut with stuff like this although Marks did have cobalts at one stage

Thats is really nice TBH. I'd nearly be tempted
