I am about to order a 3 axis kit from Hobby cnc Approx $300. Can anyone from UK give me any idea of the customs charges i am likely to incur

Hi

I think the duty will be about 3-4% then you have to pay the dreaded vat on top if you are unlucky - that has happened to me in the past.and if it goes through the post office you will have to pay about £11 for clearance and documentation fees.

Thanks for the info, sort of takes the shine off it a bit don't it

You could take a look at parcel2go.com they have a service in which you can have a usa mailbox - get it all sent there and then ship over to the uk via their service - may save you some money
