Have you used them before?

How did the vat and import tax work out?

I have brought tooling from the states and been charged 10% import duty Vat
( By the u.k gov )

ye have used them a few times and yes you will have to pay the import duty unless you know some one over there .

as i said works out in the end wot you would pay in sterling .

"LOWEST SIOUX PRICES GUARANTEED! "

They appear to sell cheap Indians too!

Considering Europe is a bigger market than North America, how come we have to pay so much for tools, compared to the yanks?

Isn't there some quirk in the Law if it's worth under £30 my welding helmet came from states with no import tax...the box was marked ... value £30....surely some arrangement could be reached

Don't know about that helps to do large order because of the shipping
