depends.. your best bet is to call the helpline. 0300 200 3700



if the goods are new... then it wont just be duty. it will be VAT as well. and that VAT will be based on the entire amount.. including post, insurance AND duty.


give the helpline a ring... get a proper answer. :thumb:

What is it made of? Plastics seem to be around 6.5%.. aluminium seems to be standard VAT and weirdly steel seems to be 0 :scratch:

Finding the correct tariff is a bitch but you could email them.. I had to call them once and there were fairly helpful not sure how long it would take to get back to you though


edit: oh [mention]Gerontious[/mention] helpfully found you a number, yeah call them :mrgreen:

Hi

For a silencer on a bike

Tariff code is 8714104000 duty rate 3.7% Duty is chargeable on the purchase price plus transport costs VAT is chargeable on the goods plus transport plus duty


EG goods £ 80.00 transport £ 20.00 Duty £ 3.70 Vat on £103.70 £ 20.74 depending on the mode of transport there may be an additional cost pre vat called VAT Adjustment fee to cover the cost of domestic transport to the delivery this is added before the VAT is calculated


Hope this helps
