Customs charging for exhaust?
I bought a blitz nur spec rx exhaust from nengun in Japan, and see from the tracking details that it has been subject to customs charges. It has not yet been delivered, but should be here tomorrow.
There would have been no invoice attached to the parcel, so how do they calculate what to charge? I'm trying to get an idea of how much I'm about to be stung for....

Just called parcelforce and it's £45.70 I've been charged. Less than expected 
.
Makes me wonder how they got that figure though, as there would have been no invoice attached to the parcel. Pick a number, any number?!

The supplying company will have provided the shipping company with a value for, and a description of, the goods prior to shipping. It's impossible to ship anything internationally without doing so.
In answer to your second question, you only pay import duty on the goods, not the services.
BTW, you haven't heard this from me, but if the goods had been described as secondhand motor spares, duty would not have been applicable

HMS cutoms would off opend your parcel if the was no invoice.....found the paper work and put the charges on from there. thay are not daft and see thing kinda thing everyday......there are ways around paying custom charges but its upto the sender iff hes willing to do it for ya....and not put the right details on the pcl.
you getting that at sighthill mate yeh lol i could off gave you some pointer but i dont start till 16.00 lol
chrage will be parcelforce handling fee= what parcelforce have to pay customs to get the parcel.
and the rest will be VAT

Lol...nengun normally mark parcels as "gifts" or "Samples", but something's obviously gone wrong in this instance. I've had an apexi power fc and two induction kits from them without charges....so I suppose it's not too bad really.
92typeRA - Aye, I presume it's coming from Sighthill. They rang me half an hour ago and I paid the charges so it'll be out for delivery tomorrow.
£400 all in is still better than the £499 + vat it would have cost in this country!
