Import duties on cycling goods

[Brother Brett]

Hi all,

 

Please could anyone advise on the import duty fees with regards to buying tools from chain reaction cycles?

 

I'm not sure which catagory it would fall under.

 

Thanks

Perhaps ask them to mark them as BICYCLE SPARE PARTS

You can't ask them squat. They send hundreds of packages every day and will not stray from the law..

I recently bought SRAM Red gruppo and was charged 10 duty. No such thing as a free ride!!!

Whether you can ask them anything I wouldn't know, I've never bought from them!

 

But, no one asking them to break the law, unless labelling tools used for repairing bicycles as bicycle parts is breaking the law. 

 

Perhaps it is, in which case BICYCLE TOOLS.

Thanks stoffies,

 

To be honest I was expecting 10% on bicycle spares and perhaps tools, however don't want to get any nasty surprises. I.e. 40%

My Shimano grouppo arrived today - 0% duty, only VAT and R37 handling.

I presume you mean 10%. If so this is more than likely the upliftment fee - 10% of FOB value.
