Importing to the UK
Hi all, I think I've decided on the HB CP2, from aviationtechnics.co.uk (a UK HobbyJapan2000 affiliate)
They will obviously be importing it from outside the EU, so I'll be liable for the import duty.
Any UK people here done similar? Know what the import rate is? How much were you stung for? If at all?
and... I used to have a big old 60 size Schluter 15 years ago, loved it. I'm getting back into the hobby with a HB CP2. Good choice for an electric?
cheers

RE: Importing to the UK
I bought the CP2 from aviationtecnics.......
Ordered on friday Delivered on thursday,,Parcel was marked as a "gift" and i did not pay any import duty !!
I know your in the uk but there pretty strict here in Ireland about import duty... But i paid Zilch !!!
Im pretty sure Hobbyjapan marks all there exports into the EU as gifts so they can skip import duty....
Mine came from Hong Kong
