Does anyone have recent purchases and thus knowledge of how much, beyo=
nd the part's cost, it costs additionally for shipping, tariffs and ta=
x, etc. to get it here?   I'm considering parts costing just north of =
$500. =20

Thanks,

This doesn=E2=80=99t answer your question at all as it=E2=80=99s the other w=
ay around, but I=E2=80=99d like to also hear if anybody has any thing to say=
 on this topic when it comes to shipping to England.

Around Christmas, I went to the US post office to mail two vintage magazines=
 as a gift from California  to the guy in England  that bought my triumph TR=
2 (TS805).  It was packed in a flexible envelope. One was an old, =E2=80=9CC=
lassic Cars Magazine=E2=80=9D, the other a little thinner.  So basically sta=
ndard sizes and not very heavy. The post office wanted nearly $55. I didn=E2=
=80=99t ship it, sadly.

It doesn=E2=80=99t make sense to me.  You can order heavy widgets shipped fr=
om China for peanuts, but it costs $55 to ship a couple magazines to England=
.

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.
