Madoldlad Posted March 26, 2022 Report Share Posted March 26, 2022 Anyone imported a quad from Europe or the USA? Can you remember the import tax %? I'm thinking of importing any pitfalls or problems or particular sellers you would recommend or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iexus Posted April 5, 2022 Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 I recently bought a quad from Spain and had to pay the delivery company before they'd hand it over. Basically if the total value is over £135 (converted from EUR at a rate the delivery company decide) you have to pay VAT (20%) and then there's an additional customs fee of 2.5% on top of that. For me this came to about £50 but then UPS chucked on their own "processing" fee of a tenner on top which was nice of them... I'm still happy I did it as I love the kite - but it is a bit of a cost I'd forgotten about 🤦♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think its worth doing as it opens up the choice beyond a genuine rev. Only problem then is too much choice🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
