import taxes are normally calculated on the CIF value - Cost Insurance and Freight. This basically means that the Cost of the goods and cost of delivering the goods are added together, a nominal rate of duty (usually a percentage) is charged on the CIF value. The CIF value and the import duty charge are added together and VAT at 17.5% is added on top. There is also a processing fee by the Courier/Parcelforce.

From a few that I have done, it seems to work out around 20% total (inc VAT)

Sent it to the psychoflingteam hotmail one, basically asking if I could jump on your order to the RMP and get you to order a couple of bits for me and Id pay a share of the import tax but its ok now, had a change of plans so if you do get the email through, just ignore it
