How do I import a motorbike from teh USA to The UK?
Any body out there who has already done it ?
Answers:
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.
Grammar police.
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.
first of all contact the customs office and ask them. it will cost u additonal 1000$ and the conversion price also
Visit custom office,they can explain better for you.
Good luck.
