Hi Guy's

I really fancy one of these for a 22LR target rifle.

Unfortunately  they dont sell in the UK, can anyone work out how much import and VAT Id have to pay?

[GT3_richy]

Goods price (A) + cost of shipping and insurance (B) = amount on which duty payable (C)

Duty will be charged on (C) at something in the region of 2.5% = (D)

VAT will then be charged on (D) at 20%

And finally add whatever Parcelforce or whomever clears it through customs charges for admin, £10-20.

E.g. scope $200 + shipping $50 = $250, around £191

Duty 2.5%, £5

VAT 20%, £39

Clearance, say £15

Total cost £191+5+39+15 = £235 ish

Martin B - if you are thinking this route, look at Tract Optics.  Their spec trashes Riton - Tract have Schott glass on some models.  I have just imported the Tract Toric into the UK direct from the US.  Scope cost was around £800,  Express shipping (ordered Sunday evening, arrived Wednesday 12.00) guarantee and customs was around £150.  Website gives duty prices and CEO Jon LaCorte is sublime to deal with.  They have lesser price models on 1 inch tubes but the Toric is a great piece of kit.
