iamlegend Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Just about to get my wheels I have the total price with seller... Concern is will a import charge be waiting for me when there delivered to the uk?!My brother for a phone case for example from USA and he got charged 15 quid and that's for a phone case.... But not sure if it's always or with everything?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
russ78 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 (edited) I brought a tial wastegate from states but seller stated the declaration as a 'gift' so got away with paying no import tax but have been caught many times before.a small box with a air filter kit in cost me over £30 in charges when it arrived in the uk Edited May 30, 2014 by russ78 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fozzie Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Don't you have to pay VAT on all imported items? That's 20% straight out of the box. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Gutted Azz. Wasn't even 10 quid a wheel for me! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fremyjay Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 problem is couriers pay the import/tax fees and then charge you more on top Quote Link to post Share on other sites
