I am wanting to purchase an outboard leg extension kit from the USA. As I read it, import duty is 2.5% but I am unsure whether VAT is also payable and if having left EU things have/will change. Value of parts is £500-600?
and almost certainly after that, there is no suggestion the Government will get rid of or even lower VAT when we leave except for TamponsYou'll pay VAT on import of anything with a price of €150 (£135 approx) or more. Those are the rules in the EU and they still apply in the UK until the end of the year.
I thought it was duty at 2.5%. Then add cost of freight and handling fee then vat on the sum of the duty, freight and handling fee? No vat on the original cost.Yes, VAT on value of item including freight, duty at applicable rate for the product category and a handling fee which is usually about £12.
AIUI, it'sI thought it was duty at 2.5%. Then add cost of freight and handling fee then vat on the sum of the duty, freight and handling fee? No vat on the original cost.
Somebody was asking about release agent for grp the other day....I bought some glue (bondic) about £15. Ended up spending £35 , still trying to find something it will mend. Sticks to nothing.
My prop comes out of the water and I normally ignore it! If it does it on a regular basis I either have to many people on the foredeck lifting the stern up or I am going too slowly and need to speed up. Once I have the boat speed back up, the prop stays in the water better and then you can possibly throttle back a bit.Wow so my £550 purchase sums up to circa £736. Thanks perhaps I put up with a bit of prop lift out of water or stick to calm conditions until I can afford it. The way things are looking it may be next year anyway, if the virus does not get me first.

I recently bought a $349 item with $75 shipping. $424 cost me £270 landed... this was a while back...
How did you do that $424 is currently £340 at today's rate and it's only got worse..I recently bought a $349 item with $75 shipping. $424 cost me £270 landed.
Tried on steel, aluminium, various plastics, ceramic, pottery, nothing stuck. The accompanying instructions refer to it as ‘filler’ rather than glue so the adverts are misleading too.(Nothing to do with import tax)
I just saw an ad for 'Bondic' on Youtube and searched here for opinions. Is it really so hopeless? I wonder what the critical factor, unmentioned in the advert, would be, that makes this clever-sounding adhesive work, or not work?
Not sure about the name. It sounds like 007-themed porno.
