I purchased many parts in 2025 from Racetorations, prior to June (25%) and =
post tariff reduction (10%). =20
The shipper has to determine the category and Racetorations used a 10% Duty=
Rate which is for U.K.-origin auto parts intended for U.K.-made =
automobiles under specific HTSUS codes 9903.94.32. There is a 25% =
additional tariff for parts not meeting the 10% requirements.
Lower than the 15% I have to pay for my German car parts.
Like others, I had to pay DHL or UPS the tariff when the part landed in US =
Customs, typically in Kentucky. And, yep, the exchange rate sucks.
Thanks,
Mark

Hi Dan,
=20
I recently bought parts from Racestorations in the UK. Your $500 purchase =
will cost 1.34 times more in the exchange rate. $670. The shipping costs =
are not to bad, depending on weight $50-75. The tariff is 20%, another =
$134 collected by the shipping company. Estimate $800+. Ouch!
=20
There seems to be no way around the tariff. Most Europeans pay a VAT Value=
Added Tax of 17.8%.
I have friends in the UK and we have discussed alternative plans. Further,=
the Country of Origin for the parts is the rate that you pay. If you buy =
parts shipped from the UK but Made in China. You pay China Tariff. =20
=20
Good Luck.
