Import Duties

[Chrissb6]

Hi, has anyone on here got any idea just how much duty l will have to pay on motorbike goods from Australia valued at approx £1500

[Gerontious]

depends.. your best bet is to call the helpline. 0300 200 3700

if the goods are new... then it wont just be duty. it will be VAT as well. and that VAT will be based on the entire amount.. including post, insurance AND duty.

give the helpline a ring... get a proper answer.

What is it made of? Plastics seem to be around 6.5%.. aluminium seems to be standard VAT and weirdly steel seems to be 0

Finding the correct tariff is a bitch but you could email them.. I had to call them once and there were fairly helpful not sure how long it would take to get back to you though

edit: oh [mention]Gerontious[/mention] helpfully found you a number, yeah call them
