  • Depends on the carrier, the seller will charge you a fee for postage but you might find that there will be a Country Charge when the item arrives here. It has to be paid before the items are released. It could be any amount from experience!

    The above is one of the better calculators, remember that you pay import duty and VAT on the total landed cost (ie inc any shipping and insurance) not just the value of the goods themselves.
