10% but no vat I would have thought would be your answer, why not google the revenue site and find the answer, I bet it's one of the FAQ's.

The only real reference is called 'The Tarif'; its available in your local library and its a tome (actually its a collection of tomes)..... Duty and VAT rates depend on the item, its origin and possibly the position of Mars in relation to Uranus. Good luck

I was about to bid on a power commander for my bike, shipping is $25 and the bids are up to $110 although I'd be prepared to pay upto around $200

Thanks

Power commanders are quite small anyway, but if you win it ask the seller to send it marked as a gift and declare value of say $10.00

You really don'y need to worry about the Harmonization Tariff Schedule
