Your VAT is usually .21% of the total value of the item you are importing.
Duty is usually about 6 pounds per 1000 pounds (trying to do some conversions and it may not work outwell in my head!).
Cost of shipping: have you already contacted someone about it? If not, let me know, this is my job.
why not contact Alvin’s Moto-Cal
Unit C, 23, Seafield Rd East, Edinburgh, Midlothian EH15 1ED
Tel: 0131 258 5000
as they import a lot of harly davison motorbikes & a lot of american cars
Dont bother. sell ya usa bike and buy the uk model.. usa bikes are jetted differently and many have totaly useless carbs and emission systems that dont work well here.
There are specialist importers, some will find a classic second hand vehicle and do all the work for you. Doing it by self is beyond me. You will find advice on the Customs/Excise website.
