craggsy 91 Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 I think its about 2.5% of the value plus VAT. Then the UK postal service whoever it may be may charge you as well, Royal Mail do I know that much Link to post Share on other sites

Lukey. 381 Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 It's a bit of a gamble, I've bought expensive parts from US before and never been charged, but they have been labelled as a gift, I would say its even more of a gamble now though as customs are cracking down, mostly on knockoff stuff but they are in general too about big suspect packages that have a low specified value to avoid charges.

VR6Pete 1,455 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 I've had a few parts and have been charged, depends how friendly the supplier is and how shitty customs are that day Link to post Share on other sites
