WILKEL

Hello - I was wondering what the import duty on a new bicycle that I want to purchase in the US (it will be delivered by international courier).
the bicycle costs $450 and the shipping cost is $175.
incedently - the same bike costs €1000 in europe.
Thanks in advance.

Probably around €120,I got an item from the US recently at a similar price and that what I paid.(21% of total price including shipping + €13.5 fees and then 21% VAT again on the fees !)

Approx €204.73 based on your figures, Duty Rate on Bikes is 15 % plus your 21% Vat

5500

Is there a goverment site that has rates for different goods?eg bikes 15% electrical goods 18% ect?
