Import taxes

[graham22377]

I need to buy some tools from the US that you can't get here in England.

Anyone know if it will be subjected to import taxes or VAT? Bearing in mind a quarter of the price is delivery charges.

I'd kind of like to know before I order as it is very expensive.

Cheers

As @redwick1 says there will be VAT and probably duty together with a "clearance charge" of £8 upwards.  A good rule of thumb is to budget for about 1/3rd extra based on the price including carriage
