UKers - tax & duty on Warmoth kits ?

Post by NickS »

Importing a Warmoth kit, is there just 20% VAT plus the £12 or so charge for walking it through customs to pay?

My son is thinking of putting together a Tele kit with humbuckers and a forearm contour on the body. Any other suggestions as to best way to do this for UKers?

Mark Jenny of MJT provides a better and cheaper service - can't recommend him highly enough. I didn't get charged VAT on my kit, but I think that's just because I was extremely lucky. Factor in 22%.
