[quote name='Bass Culture' post='155963' date='Mar 12 2008, 01:42 PM']Dear All,
Apologies in advance if this has been raised and answered elsewhere but if I'm looking to source some small items - specifically a set of 4 new tuning keys - from the States, would I still have to pay the customs clearance charge? I can get my head around the import duty and VAT but if there's an additional £13.00 - £20.00 to pay as well that begins to make a really good price look like a very average one instead. Anyone any experience of a similar purchase?
Thanks,

Hi Mark

Without looking the prices up again, OTTOMH if the value is below £18 you shouldn't incur charges - although they do include the cost of shipping in that! Whatever your final shipped total is over say $40, then add 22% for the import duties etc etc.
