advice on import duties from the US

(1/3) > >>

BrianP:
Can anyone give me a rough idea of how much I'd be charged on import duties, taxes, etc on a frame purchase coming into the UK from USA taking the following into account:

Frame cost: $250
Shipping: $60

thanks in advance for any info.

i got a set of bars and didnt get any import, they wasnt that expencive tho and my mate got a set of skyways and i think he got about £16

80sdave:
Based on previous purchases between £50 and £80 quid if it's with royal mail ups on the other hand seem to be cheaper. My mate just had a $500 used frame delivered and it cost him just on a ton i had a frame from oz value $300 aussie dollars and paid nothing.
I think it depends on the sender and if they mark it as used or new , gift etc and i do beleave if its sent with a value under $40 you pay nowt but if it goes missing your buggered.

I,ve just had a profile frame delivered today from the US ,
I asked the guy to put the value down at $50 even though i paid $120
And to put down used childrens bike frame ,gift ,
And it got here no extra shit to pay  :daumenhoch:

Could have kissed the postman  :-*   

If the value is over a certain amount they charge you vat 17 1/2 % i think
And the post office will add a hadeling charge on top of that  :wtf:

Gaz..  ;)
