Default Import taxes!

Well, I've just been charged $124 by UK customs for Steve's wheels. What a kick in the teeth!! I don't know how they arrived at that figure it's almost 50%!! Outrageous!!!

Yeah Steve, it was a real kick in the teeth.
Brian, I have no idea why so much, but I intend to find out just as soon as they release the parcel with the customs documents. They obviously had no idea what the wheels were and decided to slap a nice fat tax rate on them.
Maybe I should nickname my truck project peter$$$$$HOW MUCH?????!!!

nick reading the UK import laws It looks like the insurance was the issue . even if I where to send as a gift and put the insurance on you would've paid the same thats how I under stand it . Seems if you want to protect your investment the good ol gov wants a good cut of it doesn't supprise me the govs are brooke looking for all the cash they can grab

Oh well, we live and learn. Don't insure and then hope your parcel doesn't get lost and arrives undamaged! What a crazy mixed up world!
