An update from today's experience that may help.
Shipping of frame, fork crown, headset, stem, bars, seatpost, chainset, front and rear brakes was $77. Very nice frame that means a lot to me but not super rare or super high end. Posted on 17th December 2007.
Parcelforce Customs charge letter arrived this morning - charge is £70.37 (£10.56 Import Duty, £51.81 VAT plus the stupid Parcelforce Clearance Fee of £
.
So, depending on what you are getting I'd factor in a minimum of £100 on top of the purchase price - if it's less it'll be a nice surprise but may well be more!
