Importing from China

Or you could pay the import duty of 8% to the government, and sleep easier at night not worrying about stuff which may or may not happen in the future.

I've no problem with paying duty and keeping things legal, but if there was a way to avoid company administration fees I'd be interested to know. But my question has been answered.

I wasn't suggesting you were doing anything illegal.

I just think its simper, less stressful and potentially cheaper in the long run to pay duties etc. Its just a cost of doing business, I realised a while ago that I have a partner...called the government. If I pay them their share they will let me grow as much as I can manage. And I can buy things with the money I have earned too.

Part of what they charge is an amount for loaning you the amount they pay the customs - so technically if your account was in credit they could not charge you that amount - as they would not be loaning you the money to pay.
