Think it is about 15%, was the last time I did it in 2006 (eBay USA purchase), apparently higher than watches.
VAT, plus about 4% I think on bike parts - plus handling charge from the carrier (say a tenner or so)
IME
(google "duty calculator" or something like that)
Vat at 20% (frame plus postage plus insurance)
Duty at 4%
Postage charge
Handling charge (£20 or so)
Allow £400 or thereabouts?

Could you ppleeease not post things like that? i have a itchy check out finger at this time of year! They have a huge, quality, sale on! components also.
hmmmm saint cranks at half price..... nooooooooooo 😆
You know you NEED it
Before you get your hopes up, a lot of companies won't post frames to the UK.
Also, unless it's greatly reduced or something you can't buy over here, I wouldn't bother. The charges often haven't been worth it. I've bought quite a bit from the US, the last few bits only being things that I couldn't get over here.
