Import tax

[Sepia]

Hi All

Does anybody know what the import tax would be on an electric bicycle motor?

Do I pay VAT on the motor after import tax?

Thanks

I'm not sure what the import duty specifically would be on the motor,. There are no duties on bicycle parts, but I am not sure if an electric motor would be considered a part. You would have to consult the Customs guide, however, VAT should always be payable. 

The VAT is calculated on the uplifted cost of the item (the cost plus 10%) plus the import duty.

Electric motors are duty free, regardless of their purpose.
