Anyone have any idea on duty for a raceboat ?

roofer · 04-09-2006, 06:13 PM

Is it built heavy enough to take a beating in a rough sea?

I quite like the tuff boats (the 28 particularly). I side with Captain though, superboat are lovely, but they are fkkn expensive.

Surely you mean strong enough, or are you in the chaudron school of boat design?

I thought it was Cost + shipping + 5% the add the VAT on that
which comes out just under 1 testicle & half a kidney not that you can sell the latter in part pieces

simon chitty · 05-09-2006, 09:56 AM

if you read the small print on the insurance it isn't worth the paper it's written on

I was thinking of importing a Ford F150 Truck from America! the tax is 40% on Vehicles from the USA! so check with Customs before you buy

Ive just imported a van and a pickup and import duty is 22% on commercials, 10% on cars and 3% on campers.

Tony Davis · 10-09-2006, 08:25 AM

When I imported my F150, I paid 22% duty as a commercial, plus vat.... but couldn't claim the vat back as it only has a 500kg payload!

I did try to argue that it wasn't really a commercial vehicle, more of a leisure vehicle, and was told it was a common complaint, but tough luck.

Just had a nice conversation with importing stuff with the revenue.
For your info guys:
For a complete Outboard the code is 8407211000 at a rate of 6.2%
For spares for said outboard code 8409910000 rate 2.7%

Then all ya other add ons Morale dont import a complete engine only the parts me thinks ............................
