Title: Import charges anyone in the know?
Post by: clipperjay on 15 March 2014, 18:01

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

VAT and import duty.

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

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!
