buying from dealer in Europe

[ladsdad]

Hi All

I'm after buying some parts from SIP that don't seem to be available in the UK. The parts cost is about £250 & SIP advise that customs duty is about 2%, VAT 20% & clearence fee around £12.
Does this sound about right from other peoples recent experience ? I havent bought parts from abroad in a very long time so I was wondering how accurate the fee's are (obviously VAT will be 20%) as I dont fancy getting stung.

Cheers Mark

I bought a couple of items which came to about £400, paid £108 pounds on arrival including the £12 handling fee.
That was Royal Mail at this side.
