Hi
This has probably been asked loads of time so sorry
Im looking to import a £200 item from the USA
What can i expect to pay in taxes etc
Thanks
Have a great night
The last time I looked (a few years ago) there was different duty rates for different types of goods (I think bike parts were something like 5% at the time).
Can't you get someone to send it to you as a "gift"?
Sadly NO , I'm importing from JENSON usa
Thanks any way
The fees will also depend on who they choose to send the item, one time I was charged something like £20 duty but the carrier (I think it was FedEx) also charged me around £20 for the fact that they dealt with the duty.

Gift limit is £16 anyway
import duty at around 5% on item cost AND postage + handling fee + VAT.
