Importing from China for a charity

I would like to import some (around 350) leads and collars from China for use in animal rescue. I run a registered animal charity. I'm really confused regarding paying import duty and/or tax. Do we get any help/discount as a charity?

Thank you all

    If its leather is even worst. You need to talk to http://www.bifa.org/home and they can recomend you an agent
    Do you want your money back, and a bit more, search for 'money claim online' - They don't like it up 'em Captain Mainwaring

    Actually I hadn't put 2 and 2 together, but leather from China for an animal welfare charity is at best ironic. Hopefully they're all non-leather!
