Muppetboy Posted July 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 shipping costs €50 for 4 wheels or €22 for 1... this should save you the bother of having to register to find out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petsy Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 don't forget you'll also have to pay duty when it/they enter the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmac_Terrorist Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 That's a useful link to bear in mind. I'd actually thought of buying a 'spare' 18" if I could find one at a sensible price as I plan to keep my GTI a while and although I'm very careful, kerbing one is only a matter of time!

Muppetboy Posted July 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 "Customs duty is not payable on goods bought from countries within the EU. However, VAT is payable (if due) either in the EU country of purchase, or in the UK if the EU supplier is UK VAT registered. But, special rules apply to excise goods ie cigarettes, tobacco alcohol etc and these are explained separately." As they're from Germany and VAT is included in €399.90 then there shouldn't be any further tax to pay. Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 I should have looked at were there located. lol. I use to import caraudio products from Germany very frequent as there was no uk distributor a few years back. Basically you pay the German 16% VAT and theres no problem.
