(the US goes by weight from €15 to €55 but the UK is a flat rate of €6.50 no matter what the weight and its up to 20kg), ask the shipper to include no receipt and thats the most important part, that way they have to value the part by eye as they do not have the resources to chase everything that comes through. Worse case they will send you an email or ring you and then just make up a number like €30 even if its €150. I bought a rear Z1 Lester for €450 and they valued it at €25...no joke. Then you pay the duty on that plus 6.50 admin. I have literately save thousands.
I’ll have to look into addresspal, sounds like the way to go!
You need a bit of a neck but fu*k it the government over here get enough out of us already, carful though opens doors for cheaper parts and empty wallets.
