fastcar Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Hi peeps Does anybody know what the duty is on car parts from the states? I have heard people saying just add 30% to the purchase and shipping price but would like to know if anyone knows what it is for sure.

Guest supramad77 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 About 20% from my experience . Vat @17.5 and 2.5 %import tax. Insurance by value will hurt you further is its a high end item. I normally devalue my items as much as I can as the 20% is charged on box value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David P Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Paying for the shipping on one invoice and paying for the goods on a second invoice avoids paying import duties on shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzi Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Just ask them to lower the price marked on the declaration if you are really bothered by the cost. Obviously you may need to think twice if the parts are really expensive as you won't get the full amount back if it goes missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastcar Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share Posted October 3, 2013 Yeah parts are going to worth a few thousand so don't really want to ask them to lower the cost on the invoice. Not a bad idea though Dave to have shipping and item on two separate invoices I wonder if the company would go for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra steveo Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 i very nearly got spanked by inland revenue when i had my racing hart alloys sent over from the US i had to then prove that i paid £1000 in total rather than £1000 per alloy its just one of those things that if i had of said i paid $50 and could prove it everything would of been ok tax kinda sucks and the alloys had already had tax paid on them when they were bought in the states anyway dont really see why i had to pay tax on something second hand, i paid it anyway just to get my wheels and had about £600 sent back to me from inland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
