Hello all,

I've ordered a GAP IIDBT tool and used the delivery companies tracking system to give me an idea when I should be in to accept it.
The system shows that it is being held in customs at Heathrow.
I guess they will want some more money by way off import tax, the question is; has anyone else suffered the same fate and did you have to fork out some more cash.
Bit of a pain if so

is it coming from canada or europe? ... - .- -.

Should be coming from market rasen !

Guys,
It's coming from Canada. I bought it from the GAP website.
Didn't know there was a closer alternative.

You will not get charged import duty as long as the value is below 500 pounds.

What they will charge you is VAT!

Thats my understanding.

Cheers, Jerry
