this suggests to me that I shouldn't have to pay Fedex's handling charge - which they've "always" (x2) billed for in the past
anyone know ?
aww, c'mon - even just a bit of armchair lawyering would cheer me up 😥
You will be charged Vat when it arrives in this country so need to check its worth it.
I've never had a fedex charge
VAT is 17.5% (rising to 20% in 2011) and import duty is around 4.5-5%, so that's 22.5% in total. You [i]may[/i] get hit with a courier handling charge, so it's best to factor this in.
I tend to add on about 24%, which is slightly over the odds...but I'm happier to overestimate the charges than underestimate.
Don't forget to include the shipping and insurance (if applicable) when making your calculations.
Import duty is 4.5 % on parts
14.5 % on complete bikes
+ vat and fedex handling charge ... used jenson earlier in the year and they were superb
