Does anyone have any advice on the cheapest way to import some second hand engine bits without being charged unfairly by Customs?
I've sourced a second hand crankshaft, prop hub and connecting rods for my VW engine. The parts were purchased in the 90's by the seller but never used. They've been properly stored and are pristine. The price is very good but I'm worried it may have a big customs and VAT charge added on entry. I've had that before and it was higher than the item I'd purchased!
Anyone know the best way for him to label it to reduce my charges? Or is there another way? I'm not talking big money (788 USD), but I'm on a budget I don't want to bust it!
