Ive just received some Tamiya 502's this morning along with spares from HK, it went through Coventry and they charged me just the VAT @ 17.5% on the total (No import duty 4.3%) then Parcel force put their usual £12.50 handling charges on top.
Youll be very lucky to have something come through customs these days without getting hit if its worth more than $100 on the box.
But fear not chaps, there will be a new online Tamiya store opening in January which will be stocking all the kits and spares in the UK at those nice HK prices. More to follow..........
