And a XX4 is a scale model of what, exactly?
"Scale model" means diecast replicas and plastic assembly kits, not RC cars that come under the category "Toys"
Import duty is only 4% anyway, it's the VAT and clearance fees that make the difference.
For the record, I make £25 on a XX4, not really a lot of room for cutting my margin there.
