import duty
 

hi there guys i need to get a cdi / igniter unit for a mates suzuki bandit 400 from belgium i am in england . the company has giving me a price, item price+ shipping+ 21% vat . what i need to know is will i be hit for any british taxs or duty when it arrives, never bought anything from outside the uk before so any info, experences very welcome . i know this is not a xt600 tech question but one of you guys must have bought parts this way thanks zigzag:helpsmilie:

In the European Union there's no import taxes. Only what the seller asks you to pay (item price + VAT in that country (VAT only applies to business seller's stuff) and shipping cost).

Source: close to 3 years of (questionably professional? haha) parts trade in the EU and worldwide (selling and buying). I highly doubt I would be missing something here...

thanks zergman for the info also to lindsay , im confident now there will be no hidden charges , hoping to order this week . again thanks guys for your input zigzag :thumbup1:
