If I ever go to the continent I'm loading the car up with as many tank and panel sets I can fit and dropping them off at Mennos on the way out and pick them up on the way back.

What's that Mr Customs officer? just some scrap metal I picked up on the Normandy beaches, WW2 stuff you know.

So... I have a question, just to get some information:

Is it so difficult nowadays to import something from the continent?
For example; if I were to sell this set for a 1000 British Pounds how much extra cost would be added to get it into the UK?

All I know that it used to cost 22 euro to ship a tank and side covers back to the UK.
Since the UK is not in the EU anymore but a 3rd party it costs now 38 euro and I need to fill out a form with content and value of the shipment.

Anyone have any insight on that?

I think trick to avoid extra fees can be to declare it as "repair', but I'm sure there is someone who have better view...

Import duty is 3% of goods then add the goods, duty and postage together and vat is 20% of that (yes there is tax on the tax) then the post office charge £13 i think for the privelege of collecting the money to pass on th HMRC.  I am assuming it will be a parcel as parcel force charge more than post office even though they are same firm ish
