Does anyone know roughly how much import duty I would have to pay for a egr valve that I have found in Germany? I’m struggling to find anything other than genuine that is in stock in the uk. Thanks in advance Ben.

Don't quote me ...... but think anything under value £135 ?? is not subject to import duty.
Above that you are liable to vat and import duty based on what category the import falls under.
Also Royal mail (and i guess other transport companies) will take a fee to process the due charges -think about £17 for Royal mail .......
Sure someone more educated will follow soon .......

I bought a stainless heat exchanger worth £170 from poland and got a £15 import bill from courier for it.

Couldn't really place it on the tariff guide as could have argued it was exempt as not everything has a tariff as far as i remember.

Shows where global politics is that we cant buy quality parts from european neighbours without incurring tariffs/hassle whilst poorer quality chinese products seem to just land here with no issue.

While in the EU everything was tariff free, now you’re out the UK government has imposed the tariff.

Only because it’s generally below the amount where tariffs are applied,

we have paid duties on a dog whistle and a dog tracker.
And the Agro, we just don’t deal accros the French channel any more - except I do put small stuff in my car when I go for a rally as they never check👍

we deal more now with the Czech Republic than the uk… they really need to join the euro 🙄

“trade sample”

“warranty return”

i drove back here with a Lexion drum in just a Clio, so it was about full, it was reconditioned so my story was going to be that I had owned it a long time, I was actually stopped on that occasion… « have you bought anything on this trip? ». « No ».
»goodbye, have a good day »

I am surprised and somewhaat disappointed any conributor to this thread who voted Leave in 2016 is complaining about the imposition of import taxes and tariffs. Was clearly explained before the event. The Conservative government that created these conditions negotiated the exit. And surely you proud and pleased to be paying these taxes as it secures sovereignty.

these taxes work both ways 🙂

most farm machinery is actually tarrif free if you look at the HMRC link btw and we stil have VAT agreements in place with the EU
