Import charges anyone in the know?

[clipperjay]

I've ordered a couple of struts from the states.
Do they charge me VAT on items or items plus delivery charges?

VAT and import duty.

Also depends on the courier if they decide to bum you even further.

So roughly 33% aren't there fees on top aswell Lewy 
Parcel force but originally USPS

Ooh around 30% alright then even with the good currency exchange I got it still comes in less than what this country could have charged me plus no one stocks the dam parts locally anyways!
Weird I can buy bump stops, dust shields and mounting strut bearing plates.
Could I get the struts NO!
