Thread: accessories from the UK

I ordered a few times from them:

Land Rover, Range Rover and Discovery Spare Parts - Pegasus Parts, Surrey, UK.

Never paid import tax so far. Probably depends how big the stuff is you get in.

You might want to try and ask them to mention it is a 'gift' (although this was never necessary for me).

Cheers,

kepp it under thousand ozzy dollars and you will be fine.

that is assuming you are in Australia as I have just noticed your username LR3 which the name for the D3 in the states.

Postage is the killer from the UK, I recently asked about postage for a Nanacom from Paddocks, 40GBP

I ordered parts from USA and I am looking at some parts from UK and as previously quoted you need to keep under $1000 Aus dollars.
Checked this on Govt web site for importing goods.
Be carefull if its over $1000 and you try split order into two they will pick this up if they are too close together and make you pay import duty on both orders.
Do not now what too close together is have herd of one person that ordered his orders 4-5 weeks apart and he got charged import duty on both orders as total was over $1000.

I heard something about import duty if your order is $1000 within the same calendar month.

Be aware the "threshold value" of $1000 is inclusive of postage costs. (i.e. if buy $850AUD worth of stuff and pay $160AUD in shipping, you'll be liable for import duties).

Based on previous experience where I've had multiple shipments of < $1000 in a short space of time (without incurring import fees), I think the import duty on multiple shippments only applies if you're buying form the same seller.

So as far as I'm aware, if you spread shopping list amongst several UK retailers, I think you should be OK.
