fluffo Posted July 1, 2015 Author Posted July 1, 2015 weighs in at about 7lb so that's around 31/4 kg's
azzyrazzy Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 I'd love to bring it back to Norway but with the norwegian 25% duty, it will be 937 GBP not counting shipping (which also is duty on) and duty handling. Bump!
fluffo Posted July 7, 2015 Author Posted July 7, 2015 That depends, based on that being the country of origin and that I have the import proof there should be no import duty, postage was £55 based on a declared value of £350
