I may have found some useful new parts is the US. Does anyone know what kind of import taxes you might pay on say, a thousand dollar purchase.:teacher:

Cheers.
 
VAT and the post office will charge you for clearing it through customs , so VAT at 20% = £200 and Why do Parcelforce Worldwide charge customs clearance fees | Parcelforce Worldwide

If you have a friend in the USA , get it sent to them, get them to rewrap it and declare it as old motorcycle parts value $5 then send it on to you / the only problem being that insurance will only pay $5 if it goes AWOL ,

Thanks guys,I had the vat, just wondered if there were any other import tariffs from the US. Anyways it was only for a couple of new Acerbis tanks but they haven't bothered to answer me so f***'em.:)
 
You'd be better off finding a UK importer of Acerbis Tanks and asking them to source them for you. They'd get them at cost and charge you VAT, but it might end up cheaper.
