Title: Wheels
Post by: a91_formula on July 15, 2007, 07:49:45 pm

Hi

Am considering import some wheels in from the good ole US of A (with tyres mounted).

Can anyone offer some input on shipping costs, excise duty etc etc.

Approx value is £1100.

Thanks

You'll pay tax on stuff over £18 @ 17.5%.

Also companies will put their "handling charge" on over here (Parcel Force is £8, UPS is £15-odd . . . )

I know it's awkward but if possible I'd suggest getting them sent either separately or in pairs to reduce weight down in order to send USPS.

That way you'll save a fortune compared to UPS/FedEx . . . etc.
