Hi chaps,
Has anyone got any experience of importing wheels? I am looking to being some wheels in from the US and would like to know just how much duty I will be stung for?
My maths says
Wheels -$655
Shipping - $350
Duty - 3.5%
VAT - 20%
Around £891 at 1.4 exchange rate?
Thanks
J

Ouch, that shipping sounds heavy. I had 5 wheels sent from the UK to Philippines and shipping was US$250 with TNT. Given that everything is loaded onto the goods+shipping, the less you can pay for that, the better. Mind you, when they arrived, the duty here was around $400. Because full moon!  |

That shipping does sound heavy, I know there is a certain volumetric consideration, but ouch.
Are there any European retailers? They will have a markup but sometimes that is better than the shipping plus tax

If you can wait a bit then buy the wheels and use Ron @ stsimports.co.uk
I just got a set of wheels in $220 each worked out at £208 each by the time they were in my grubby hands.
Or try Langy at Langys rod shop, he used to bring stuff in on a dollar to pound exchange rate but that may have changed with the recent dip in rates.

Try Steve Lang in Watford, Steve has brought stuff in for me at very reasonable rates, and normally has a container coming over every 2 weeks. www.langysrodshop.co.uk/ |
