You will soon get a letter from parcelforce with a bill for around £30......to clear customs and handling. Then they will release the wheels for delivery after u have paid the bill

Trust me you will

It means you might pay about 15% import tax, a 48.5% anti-dumping duty tax, and maybe a £15 handling charge to the courier to finish things off!

"A penalty imposed on suspiciously low-priced imports, to increase their price in the importing country and so protect local industry from unfair competition."

Is that true?

 

[Peter Armstrong]

"Anti-dumping duty (ADD) is imposed in addition to any normal customs duty for which the goods being imported are liable. It enables the EC to take action against goods sold at considerably less than their ‘normal value’. This is defined as a price that is lower than the price of similar goods in the country from which they originate."

NO, why scare me like that?

Maybe you're right. I suppose it depends how much the wheels retail for in China.
