Gibraltar as viewed from near the border but on the Spanish side

Gibraltar is a self-governing British overseas territory located on the southern end of the Iberian Peninsula and Europe at the entrance of the Mediterranean overlooking the Strait of Gibraltar.It is not an Island, the territory covers 6.843 square kilometres and shares a land border with Spain to the north. Gibraltar has historically been an important base for the British Armed Forces.

The sovereignty of Gibraltar has been a major point of contention in Anglo-Spanish relations. Gibraltar was ceded by Spain to the Crown of Great Britain in perpetuity, under the 1713 Treaty of Utrecht, although Spain asserts a claim to the territory and seeks its return.The overwhelming majority of Gibraltarians strongly oppose this, along with any proposal of shared sovereignty and the British government has stated that it is committed to respecting the Gibraltarians' wishes.

The Import duties Levied on goods imported into Gibraltar,is mostly at 12%. Computer equipment is at 6% and photographic equipment is duty free. Some shipping agents charge a small surcharge for door to door delivery and customs clearance, items arriving via the postal system are simply subject to customs clearance and import duties at the rate as determined by the Ordnances of Gibraltar.

As a rule of thumb - the low cost items we ship into Gibraltar for delivery are shipped via the postal systems as these are light and therefore cheap to ship, for heavier items and larger orders where possible we use DHL, at the time of writing DHL only collected customs duties upon delivery without charging any admin costs. Fedex and UPS are both known to charge clearance administration handling charges and if at all possible we avoid shipping via those couriers. If you have any questions please contact us.

Gibraltar is part of the EU, having joined the European Economic Community with the United Kingdom in 1973. Article 299(4) applies the treaty to "the European territories for whose external relations a Member State is responsible", a provision which in practice only applies to Gibraltar. Notwithstanding its being part of the EU, Gibraltar is outside the customs union and VAT area and is exempted from the Common Agricultural Policy. As a separate jurisdiction to the UK the Gibraltar Parliament transposes EU directives into local law nd border checks are still performed at the border between Gibraltar and Spain.

Owing to a declaration lodged by the United Kingdom with the EEC in 1982 Gibraltarians were to be counted as British nationals for the purposes of Community law. This was notwithstanding that they were not all, at the time, British citizens but many were British Overseas Territories citizens. As such Gibraltarians enjoyed European Union citizenship from its creation in the Maastricht Treaty. All Gibraltarians have since been granted full British citizenship.

Other interesting notes about Gibralar, several of the large online Gambling and casino companies are based in Gibraltar some of the more notable are detailed below.

Examples.

Betfred, either the Poker site or the casino which also offers a £100 Signup Bonus (at Betfred Casino), Ladbrokes, 32Red, William Hill, Carmen Media Group, and others all operate in some form from Gibraltar, as a result there is a relatively high number of skilled expats with IT experience to be found in the Campo Gibraltar area mostly working within the gaming industry.

We can accept payment within our online store by paypal and other methods by request.
