Hey, I'm thinking about ordering something from the US as it's not available in the UK. I've had a shipping quote from the site but they've said it doesn't include duty charges. The parcel is 7kg, length is 48 inches, width is 7.25 inches and height it 2.5 inches. Anybody have an idea of what the import duty charges will be? Forgot to mention it's worth £245 all together. Thanks

Kyle

    The rate of duty (if any) will depend on what it is. There will be VAT at 20% anyway. Plus Fedex' handling fee of (I'm guessing) £15 or so
