Can anyone advise how to go about importing - is it just a matter of ringing around? What import duty will I pay - if they rated the moulds at "new" value could not afford to do it, the duty on the shipping cost is going to be the biggest expense, I want the cheapest possible shipping method, even if it takes months.
Thanks for any help.
