How much does it cost to import a marker

[Sam Mills]

I was just wandering if anyone has ever imported a marker from USA, I know the shipping is around $60 I was just wandering if there was any import tax or anything else ? And how much this would cost?

Have a look at this, and you can do a quick calculation yourself.

International post fees
20% import duty
Courier fee for handling through customs £8 - £20 (usually £20)
Extra time
return to the us for warranty support
Risk of losing it if customs don't like the look of it
(VCRA legislation on rifs - and they also have rejected imports even though the same marker is on sale in the uk-but if its speedballer style & bright then it is safe)

Don't import to save money, it doesn't work most of the time
Do import for unusual items that won't become available here
