Has anyone done this? I'm hoping to swap a frame I have with one over there. Both second hand, both worth about £150. Did you get stung for import duty, VAT, etc?

You’ll be liable for import duty and VAT. Plus air freight costs have gone up, and may go up more, due to the massive fall in passenger flights (which carry some of the freight and share the ground handling costs too).

Seems like a very bad idea!
