Microshift from alibaba - import duty?

[KneesUp]

Hello - I'm gradually rebuilding a bike and it needs new brake levers and shifters. I was going to go for Tektro levers and some bar end shifters, but bar-ends are more than I thought.

I've seen microshift 'brifters' on alibaba fior about £50 inc. delivery, which is about what I'd pay for second-hand bar ends and new brake levers.

So I was just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on these shifters, and also how much they are likely to cost once I have to pay duty on them?

Cheers

Depends if it get's pulled in customs, and it's very hit and miss. Add in a handling charge, then minimum could be £15, or none !
