you will not have to pay import on anything  fro  0-135 Quid  if I remember...   but you will have to pay import  VAT   that's on everything  new or old.    I got all my electrics for my K3   including generator and cover,   elect plate   switch gears  etc
and only had to pay £25.00 import  VAT

Sorry forgot to add you can only do this with one piece oil rings which I have always prefered
Cheers
