Import Cost
Hi guys,
was just about to order an IID Tool for my D3 when I saw the "import charges may apply" disclaimer on the checkout page. Can anybody tell me how much it'll actually cost me to buy a £399 IID BT from Gap?
Thanks,
Ken

LOL, so used to buying straight from source where possible I didn't even think of that. Thanks, I'll give them a look. If anyone does know the answer to the question though, I'd still be interested.
Cheers, Ken

Somewhere round there Pete,
I got stung with import duty and VAT on top when I ordered some parts from the USA, Import Duty and VAT cost more than the parts.

Noooooo....... too slow
Just ordered one from BAS. Noticeably cheaper than importing one.
