Importing from the US

[Motorsport3]

Hello, never tried it before but thinking of buying a bicycle frame from the US.

Is there a way to check the duties that are payable at the border?

2.5% duty on the cost of the frame and shipping etc. Then UK vat on all that.

A lot of USA places give you an all in price including duty vat etc for car parts maybe the same for bikes.

Local taxes may be void too.

Very helpful, thank you

Is there a reference for the duty of 2.5% ?
