    Ciao,

    I am thinking of getting one of these for the Rally as a wee treat for the cheeks and eyes.

    So, the questions are:

    Has anybody got any experience of these?

    What would the import duty be?

    How is it paid?

    My understanding is that its a flat 20% on goods form the EU but after having tried to delve into the Government HMRC duty calculator I quickly lost the will to live! Clarity, brevity and ease of understanding was obviously not part of their brief...

    Cheers in advance,

    BTD
     
  2. Anything over £135 attracts duty at 20%, then there are the carriers handling fees which you pay before it's released.

    It should be a VAT free purchase there end too but invariably it isn't.

    I'd try and find a UK seller, as should you wish to return the import it'll cost you the postage? IMO not worth the hassle.
     
  3. Valid points folks, cheers.

    Normally I really only buy within the UK but it is a pretty item and the Conquest Racing version doesn't look as good. In saying that, I have spent quite a serious amount of coin with them over the winter, so they aren't losing out!
