Hi Gang,

Does anyone have any advice as to how much shipping tax would be to the UK from the States?

I've seen some cool kit online that's alot cheaper in the States than in the UK, but was wondering if I'm going to get stung when it comes through customs this side.

Any advice will be appreciated :)

Servus!

If you get in touch with Customs, the can provide you with a list of the items that duties and taxes are applied to that come into the U.K. Certain things are allowed in wiht little to no fee, while others are taxed heavily to protect a national industry. Make yourself aware before having to "pay the price" ;)
