They also (almost as a sideline) sell instructional books and DVDs. To that end they sell all kinds of stuff ranging from industrial-strength sewing machines (that have the power to punch through layers of the thick, heavy, fabrics involved, which an ordinary domestic machine would baulk at) through fabrics and foam down to thread, needles, and stuff that falls under the conventional "notions" definition.

on their boats themselves instead of paying professional sail-makers and upholsterers to do it. They sell products to boat owners who want to make and/or repair things like sails, canvas protective covers, interior and exterior upholstery, etc. My question here was merely intended to explore whether the term "notions" (as products related to sewing) could cover books related to sewing.īackground information: This is not a typical "notions store". The main problem was that the Customs declaration on the parcel did not mention books when in ought to have done if it had, I would not have had to pay VAT. The shipping charge is a separate issue, which I didn't even mention, but it too could have been an awful lot lower if they had taken advantage of a book rate. I wasn't "looking for the book rate", I already knew that the VAT rate for books is zero. Grr!Ĭlick to expand.Thank you for trying to be helpful, but you are mistaken. In the UK, books are exempt from VAT, so if the sender had been more specific, and said "sewing books", I'm confident that I would not have been charged VAT. I'm not sure UK customs officers would have much notion about what that was supposed to mean, but the effect was that they slapped VAT (value added tax) on it. The sender's customs declaration label ( * see above) on the parcel said "sewing notions". My context is that I ordered some books from USA related to designing and sewing sails for boats. I think dressmaking patterns (specific instructions for sewing a particular garment, that come with sheets of paper that you pin to fabric for cutting out shapes before sewing them together) would probably qualify. My question is: How loose can an item's relatedness to sewing be before you can no longer (literally, in my case, see below *) apply the label "notions" to it? So if I had said yesterday "I have a notion to do some sewing", it would not have been a feeble attempt at a pun, but if I said it today, it would. I only knew the word in its sense of a vague idea.
I have never come across notions with this meaning before today. I know haberdashery only in its BE sense, where (as far as I know) it has nothing to do with men's clothing, but only means items related to sewing (basically everything except fabric). I've just come here by being a good boy and searching first instead of starting a new thread.
