What you see is what you pay @ ModelBuild.co.uk!

Although sometimes buying RC Parts / Kits abroad (outside the EU) is cheaper, you might be liable to Customs Duty and VAT when your goods enter the UK.

All goods sent from outside the European Community are liable to Customs Duty and VAT if the value of the goods is over £18. If the parcel contents is labelled as a gift from a private person abroad to another person in this country the limit is raised to £36.

Duty is charged as a percentage of the value of the goods. The percentage varies depending on the type of goods and the country of origin. Duty is charged on the price paid for the goods including any local Sales Tax plus postage, packing and insurance costs.

Remember you will always have to pay VAT (17.5%) on the value of the goods entering the UK but the Import Duty varies from different countries.
