I could be being a bit dense, but I can't figure it out from the HMRC site.

I'm thinking of buying a bike that I can't get here, but have found it in stock in Germany. If I buy it, do I have any additional costs once I have paid the bike shop for the bike and shipping?

Thanks,

Leon

Lots of people here bought insanely cheap XTR BBs from Rose in Germany recently and didn't pay VAT or import... HTH

thanks - that's what I thought, but at €2K+, I didn't want to take the risk.
