4% import duty then VAT on the price of the frame and shipping.
+ a [s]handling[/s] skanking fee.

Bike Frames | Not Painted, Anodised, 4.7%

http://www.dutycalculator.com/popular-import-items/import-duty-and-taxes-for-bicycle-frame/

Duty is payable on shipping (and insurance costs), then VAT on that total.

Was 4% on the last two frames I imported.

You saying you paid 4.7% then stoner? 😉

I've previously paid the following on a frame and components, just to give you an idea....

Value of goods - $4465 (dollars) inc postage, so approx £2767 (pounds)

Import VAT - £599.03 (pounds)
Duties - £134.45 (pounds)
Brokerage charge - £18.34 (pounds)

Total - £751.82 (pounds)
